Down the Drain
Style: Synth ballad

[Verse 1]
Water spins slow round the steel
Everything ordinary, washed clean and plain
I stand here doing nothing at all
Just watching the light behind you, Beatrice

[Pre-chorus]
Some days are only dishes and rain
Nothing to show, nothing to prove
But you turn the dull hours to peace

[Chorus]
Beatrice, you make the quiet feel like home
No need to shine, no need to move
I'd choose this small life with you, Beatrice
Over anything louder, anything new

[Verse 2]
The last of the soap slips away
Nothing left but the sound of the drain
You reach for the towel, half turned
And I forget what I meant to say

[Chorus]
Beatrice, you make the quiet feel like home
No need to shine, no need to move
I'd choose this small life with you, Beatrice
Over anything louder, anything new

[Bridge]
I've loved you in bigger rooms
But never more than right here
Nothing dressed up, nothing rehearsed
Just you, and the night going clear

[Chorus]
Beatrice, you make the quiet feel like home
No need to shine, no need to move
I'd choose this small life with you, Beatrice
Over anything louder, anything new

[Outro]
The water goes dark down the steel
Still, I would stay right here with you
