[Verse] Steam rises slow through the kitchen haze, Fingers trace the rim of a chipped blue plate. Time stretches thin, like a thread unspooled, Old memories hum in a room with no soul. [Pre-Chorus] The clock don’t care, don’t speak, don’t try, Just ticks like a heartbeat I used to deny. [Chorus] Wait, wait, wait — the pot’s got its own time, Like love, like loss, like a road without rhyme. Each tick a breath, each breath a line, Patience is the only grace I know tonight. Wait, wait, wait — the rice will be right, Just let the silence sing me home through the light. [Verse] The radio crackles a song from before, Faded words that still know how to soar. A chair creaks once, a shadow drifts by, All I’m doing is staying, just watching the sky. [Pre-Chorus] The fire’s low now, but the dream stays warm, Like a memory held close — it’s been doing just fine. [Chorus] Wait, wait, wait — the pot’s got its own time, Like love, like loss, like a road without rhyme. Each tick a breath, each breath a line, Patience is the only grace I know tonight. Wait, wait, wait — the rice will be right, Just let the silence sing me home through the light. [Bridge] I used to run from the in-between, Now I’m learning how to sit, how to dream. Even the steam knows how to slow, And the moment’s not lost — it just grows. [Chorus] Wait, wait, wait — the pot’s got its own time, Like love, like loss, like a road without rhyme. Each tick a breath, each breath a line, Patience is the only grace I know tonight. Wait, wait, wait — the rice will be right, Just let the silence sing me home through the light. [Outro] Wait… Just wait… The steam still hums, the fire still glows… The rice knows… The rice knows…
