Description
Love is like renovation - endless, dusty, but your own. At first, you want to rearrange everything, repaint, remake each other to suit your own comfort. Then suddenly you realise: sometimes it's enough just to leave things alone. Let people grow, breathe, and decide for themselves where to put their lamp.
The song contains a rare wisdom that comes not from drama, but from the desire to truly be there for someone. Without control, without lists of rules. When love is not a cage with soft pillows, but a house with open windows. And the wind there does not interfere, but reminds us that trust sounds quieter than all the other noise.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Instead of all the noise, I choose to listen, I'll hear your voice.
Instead of naming you, I'll own my part, hold on to your heart, mm. Build us a home, a place to call our own.
Instead of trying to change you, I'll let you grow, I'll take it slow.
Instead of jumping to conclusions, giving you solutions, I'll put you first, mm.
Listen to you more, what's in the store?
I won't control.
I'll learn to trust.
I'll be your safe space to stay.
Instead of trying to change you, I'll let you grow, I'll take it slow.
Instead of jumping to conclusions, giving you solutions, I'll put you first.
Listen to you more, what's in the store?
I won't control. Baby, I won't control.
I'll learn to trust.
I'll be your safe space to stay.
And I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you, oh.
Promise you'll be loved.
You'll be loved.
I need a home always here to stay, to stay.
'Cause I'll be your safe space for you to stay, for you to stay. I'll be your safe space for you to stay, for you to stay.
I'll be your safe space for you to stay, for you to stay.
