Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Trust rarely arrives as a warning Just coffee gone cold on the table Your jacket left hanging beside mine A laugh that forgets to be careful You ask how my weekend was Idling You remember my sister by name Little favors folded like napkins Stacked in a quiet Uneven frame [Chorus] The wolf never rushes It walks the long way home Learning every lantern Every stone The wolf never lunges It circles Soft and slow Till the hand that feeds it thinks it knows (oh, it thinks it knows) [Verse 2] You never push hard on the questions You just leave them open Ajar I step through the doorway on instinct Stop checking how heavy they are You say “Take your time I’ll be waiting” You say “Only if you want to” Patience painting comfort on corners Till the room feels stitched out of you [Chorus] The wolf never rushes It walks the long way home Learning every lantern Every stone The wolf never lunges It circles Soft and slow Till the hand that feeds it thinks it knows (thinks it knows) [Bridge] By the time I notice the silence I’m already telling you things I never tell Every secret sounds so harmless Falling down your private well [Chorus] The wolf never rushes It knows what time will do I build the shelter Then hand you the view The wolf never lunges It waits till I lean in And I call this hunger “harmless friend” (oh, harmless friend)

Intimate indie-folk ballad, male or female vocals; close-miked vocal over soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar and brushed snare. Verses stay hushed, almost spoken, with subtle upright bass and distant piano tones. Chorus blooms with warm harmonies and a gentle swell of organ, then falls back to near-whisper for the bridge. Mix leans into room tone and breath for a confessional, late-night feel.
