Low and Steady
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
The wooden radio hums so low it could almost be breathing
Somewhere past the dial the whole house has gone soft and still
Nothing but a hush caught between the wire and the evening
Andrew, close your eyes now, nobody will let you spill

[Pre-chorus]
The static folds down small like a blanket pulled to your chin
Every crackle fading slower, sinking further under your skin
Hold on to the hum, love, let it carry you within

[Chorus]
Andrew, the night is only holding you, nothing more
Soft as the sound that drifts in gently under the door
Andrew, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known
Sleep now, you are never once left in the dark alone

[Verse 2]
A little gold light glows behind the fabric of the speaker
Like something small and steady that has no plans to go out
Andrew, the whole wide world has gone quiet and much weaker
While you are wrapped up here, past worry, past doubt

[Pre-chorus]
The static folds down small like a blanket pulled to your chin
Every crackle fading slower, sinking further under your skin
Hold on to the hum, love, let it carry you within

[Chorus]
Andrew, the night is only holding you, nothing more
Soft as the sound that drifts in gently under the door
Andrew, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known
Sleep now, you are never once left in the dark alone

[Bridge]
Let every worn out sound become a hand upon your hair
Andrew, you are so deeply loved, so gently kept with care

[Chorus]
Andrew, the night is only holding you, nothing more
Soft as the sound that drifts in gently under the door
Andrew, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known
Sleep now, you are never once left in the dark alone

[Outro]
The radio hums on low, keeping watch while you rest
Andrew, you are the softest sound of all, and the best
