Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I knew this day was coming I felt it in my bones So I folded up my handwriting For when you’re on your own You’ll find it in the drawer By the flour and the tea A little map of how to live The way you lived with me [Chorus] Dance in the kitchen Bare feet on the floor Turn up the laughter Like I’m walking through that door Cook in the quiet At three in the morning Taste every moment Like steam on the window Jump in the car Don’t plan too far Chase that blue horizon And when you think of me Just leave the light on [Verse 2] Don’t rush through your coffee Don’t hurry through your years Let the dishes sit a while If someone needs your ears Let the couch be for forts Let the table hold your dreams Let the mess mean you were living Right there in between [Chorus] Dance in the kitchen Bare feet on the floor Turn up the laughter Like I’m walking through that door Cook in the quiet At three in the morning Taste every moment Like steam on the window Jump in the car Don’t plan too far Chase that blue horizon And when you think of me Just leave the light on [Bridge] You’ll hear my voice In the onions on the stove In the midnight radio When you get lonely on the road I’m not gone I’m woven in Every ordinary day Every silly Sudden “let’s go” That never goes away [Chorus] So dance in the kitchen Spin till you’re dizzy Tell all your stories While the pasta water sings Cook in the quiet At three in the morning Taste every moment Like it’s the only one Jump in the car Don’t plan too far Chase that blue horizon And when you think of me Oh when you miss me Just leave the light on

dance, Warm acoustic ballad with female vocals, fingerpicked guitar and soft piano. Intimate verses in a close-mic whisper, subtle brushed snare entering at the first chorus. Second chorus opens with airy harmonies and a low cello pad, building to a gentle, tearful swell then dropping back to a single guitar and vocal on the final lines for a tender, lingering finish.
