"Amber Light" lyrics

The afternoon was folding into something soft and amber
You were sitting by the window with your head against your hand there
The light was doing something to the room I can't describe
Like the whole world had agreed to make this moment feel alive

I didn't say a word because words would have broken it
The kind of quiet that you want to live inside, not fix
You looked up and caught me looking, smiled like you already knew
That I was trying to memorize the shape of afternoon and you

This is our amber light, everything is warm
Everything is soft and you're the eye inside the storm
Amber light, just you and me and this perfect glow
I could stay here for the rest of my life, I know

An hour passed and neither of us reached to check the time
The tea went cold on the table but neither of us minded
The city outside kept moving at its ordinary pace
But we were somewhere slower, somewhere softer, somewhere safe

I've spent so long in rooms that felt like waiting rooms for living
But this one felt like the real thing, effortless and giving
You didn't have to do a thing, just be exactly where you were
And somehow that was everything, the simplest kind of cure

This is our amber light, everything is right
The whole world disappeared from view, just us and fading light
Amber light, I could stay here in this glow
I could stay here with you, never letting go

Don't need perfection
Don't need the grand design
Just this afternoon
Just you, just mine

This is our amber light, everything is warm
Everything is soft and you're the eye inside the storm
Amber light, just you and me and this
I could stay in this amber light, just like this
