The Room to Breathe

warm, grateful, relaxed tempo (~90 BPM), female vocal

[Verse 1] You left the kettle on for me The blue mug waiting by the sink A folded note beside the bread Just saying, “Take your time today” [Pre-Chorus] The little things you never name Are how I know I’m safe [Chorus] Thank you for the room to breathe For meeting me where I may be For every ordinary day You make feel kind in quiet ways I don’t need more than this to know How much your steady love can hold [Verse 2] We take the long way past the park You tell that story, miss the turn I laugh before the ending comes And watch the late sun warm your hands [Pre-Chorus] The little things you never name Are how I know I’m safe [Chorus] Thank you for the room to breathe For meeting me where I may be For every ordinary day You make feel kind in quiet ways I don’t need more than this to know How much your steady love can hold [Bridge] When I forget the good I have You point it out without a word A place beside you, light left on A quiet yes when days are hard [Final Chorus] Thank you for the room to breathe For meeting me where I may be For every ordinary day You make feel kind in quiet ways I don’t need more than this to know How much your steady love can hold [Outro] The blue mug waiting by the sink Your note is still beside the bread
