You're the Quiet That Will Last

Verse 1

You pad across my chest at dawn

A tiny engine humming

Your whiskers brush against my chin

And I forget the day I'm running

Pre-Chorus

You don't care about my wages

All my flaws or broken pages

Just a lap and gentle hand

That's all I am

Chorus

Little paws, little purrs

You're the velvet in my words

When the world gets loud and fast

You're the quiet that will last

Little purrs, little paws

You're the only thing that claws

Straight into my heart and stays

Through the fog and through the haze

Verse 2

You knock my glasses off the shelf

Chase a sunbeam cross the floor

Sometimes you're a tiny menace

But I keep on wanting more

Pre-Chorus

You don't care about my schedule

My messy room or any trouble

Just a cozy spot to lay

At end of day

Chorus

Little paws, little purrs

You're the velvet in my words

When the world gets loud and fast

You're the quiet that will last

Little purrs, little paws

You're the only thing that claws

Straight into my heart and stays

Through the fog and through the haze

Bridge

And when you knead the blanket

Like you're making bread for two

I know I'm the luckiest

That I get to live with you

Outro

Purr for me

Purr for me
