River In Your Doorway
Smooth folk with brushed acoustic guitar, warm upright bass, and gentle brushed percussion in a laid-back swayed tempo; verse stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus opens with a rising harmony and fingerpicked lift, chorus blooms with stacked vocals and soft handclaps. Breath-close lead vocal with light doubles, airy backing oohs, and a few delay-tossed end words. Ear candy: soft pedal-steel swells, creaking-room ambience, and a dulcimer shimmer between lines. Warm, honeyed, and close-mic, smooth, folk

Lyrics
Verse 1
I saved you a seat by the window
Where the rain writes lines on the glass
Your name sits easy on my tongue
Like a song I knew from the past
I fold my hands when you’re near me
Try to act like I don’t care
But every time you lean in closer
My whole world stays right there
Pre-Chorus
And I could stay a while
If you’d stay too
There’s a small wild hope
That keeps pulling me through
Chorus
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Like a river to the sea
I keep finding my way to you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
If you hold this moment still
I’ll be here, I’ll be here
Verse 2
You laugh and the room gets softer
Even the floorboards seem to rest
I’ve been carrying my heart around
Like it knew your hands were best
So if you’re looking for a sign
It’s in the way I look at you
I don’t need much, just your footstep
And one more thing to hold me through
Pre-Chorus
And I could stay a while
If you’d stay too
There’s a small wild hope
That keeps pulling me through
Chorus
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Like a river to the sea
I keep finding my way to you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
If you hold this moment still
I’ll be here, I’ll be here
Bridge
Take my open palm
Take my quiet truth
I don’t want forever
I just want tonight with you
Chorus
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Like a river to the sea
I keep finding my way to you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
If you hold this moment still
I’ll be here, I’ll be here
