Welcome Home, Nana

[Verse 1]
Key on the counter
Kettle on the flame
Your slippers by the doorway
Everything the same
Photos on the fridge door
Smiling like you do
We straightened up the cushions
Saved this chair for you
[Chorus]
Welcome home
Nana
We kept your stories warm
Blanket on the armrest
Safe from every storm
Welcome home
Nana
We missed your little hum
House was kinda quiet
Till you finally came back home
[Verse 2]
Cookies on the table
You’d say
“Take just one” (hey!)
We laugh before you finish
Reach for two and run
Your garden through the window
Still waiting on your hands
The seedlings look like children
Leaning where you stand
[Chorus]
Welcome home
Nana
We kept your stories warm
Blanket on the armrest
Safe from every storm
Welcome home
Nana
We missed your little hum
House was kinda quiet
Till you finally came back home
[Bridge]
Tell that joke again
Though we know each line
Every word familiar
Still hits every time
Stay a little longer
Tea can steep too long
We just like the silence
When you’re sitting where you belong
[Chorus]
Welcome home
Nana
We kept your stories warm
Blanket on the armrest
Safe from every storm
Welcome home
Nana
Stay as long as you want
Every door is open
Every light is leading you home

Warm indie-folk ballad with female vocals, soft acoustic guitar and upright piano. Gentle brushed drums and subtle bass enter on the first chorus, with a small swell of strings on the bridge. Intimate, close-mic verses; chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a cozy, living-room feel.
