Wet Tarmac
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Streetlamps turning puddles into gold
Every step I take feels slow
You're waiting where the light bends low
Some kind of warmth I've always known

[Chorus]
August, you're the calm I trust
Not a spark that fades to dust
Steady as the rain tonight
Nothing sudden, nothing rushed

[Verse 2]
We've walked this street a hundred times
No need to fill the quiet up
You take my hand like it's enough
No grand words, no perfect lines

[Pre-chorus]
I've been careful with my heart for years
Kept my feelings close and hushed
But you make silence feel like trust

[Chorus]
August, you're the calm I trust
Not a spark that fades to dust
Steady as the rain tonight
Nothing sudden, nothing rushed

[Bridge]
Maybe love's not lightning after all
Maybe it's this slow, small glow
The kind that doesn't rust

[Chorus]
August, you're the calm I trust
Not a spark that fades to dust
Steady as the rain tonight
Nothing sudden, nothing rushed

[Outro]
The lamps still turn the tarmac gold
And I still choose you, walking slow
