Lyrics:

The days got cold, so we stayed in more
Talkin’ ’bout nothing on the living-room floor
You brewed coffee, I fixed the drafty door
Funny how the quiet made me want you more

And somehow love just drifted in
Through little moments, soft and thin

Now we’re closer than before,
Like that old screen door
Swingin’ easy every time you come my way.
Yeah, your smile settles in
Like the light through the window when the day begins —
Baby, every day I’m wantin’ you more,
We’re closer than before.

We talked things through when the nights felt long
Two steady hearts trying hard to stay strong
You stayed patient even when I got it wrong
Guess that’s how simple moments turn to lifelong

And all the quiet things you do
Make every morning feel brand new

Now we’re closer than before,
Like that old screen door
Swingin’ easy every time you come my way.
Yeah, your smile settles in
Like the light through the window when the day begins —
Baby, every day I’m wantin’ you more,
We’re closer than before.

Maybe love grows slow on colder nights
Wrapped in blankets, talkin’ under soft lights
It’s in your laugh, it’s in your voice
It’s in the way you say my name like a choice

Now we’re closer than before,
Like that old screen door
Swingin’ easy every time you come my way.
Yeah, your smile settles in
Like the light through the window when the day begins —
Baby, every day I’m wantin’ you more,
We’re closer than before.
