Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I’ve loved like a flood in a teacup Spilling over every side Watched them smile while they took it Then drift off with the tide I’m tired of learning the hard way How it feels to come in last Waiting quiet in the doorway While their gaze moves past [Chorus] I just want a safe place to land Someone who can hold all I am Read the tremble in my voice Still say “You’re my first choice” I don’t want a maybe or guess I want a love that stands the test Someone who understands my heart And never makes me feel second best [Verse 2] I give more than I know how to measure Little things that no one sees Saving seats and birthday letters All that empty space in me I’m scared of being too gentle Like I’m made of thinner glass Will you stay when it gets heavy When the days all drag [Chorus] I just want a safe place to land Someone who can hold all I am Read the tremble in my voice Still say “You’re my first choice” I don’t want a maybe or guess I want a love that stands the test Someone who understands my heart And never makes me feel second best [Bridge] If I hand you every fragile part Every scar I tried to hide Will you keep them in your quiet hands Sit with me through every tide I don’t need perfect I need present I don’t need promise I need proof That when I give you all this endless love You’ve got room [Chorus] I just want a safe place to land Someone who can hold all I am Read the tremble in my voice Still say “You’re my first choice” (my first choice) I don’t want a maybe or guess I want a love that stands the test Someone who understands my heart And never lets me feel Never lets me feel Second best

folk, Gentle indie folk with close-mic’d male vocals, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, and soft brushy percussion. Intimate verses build from sparse guitar into a warm, homespun chorus with light harmonies and subtle upright bass. Second chorus adds a faint organ pad and wordless ooohs for lift. Overall arc moves from vulnerable solitude to a steady, comforting glow, keeping the vocal front and center., indie folk
