Under the Yellow Canopy
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Rain slides down the yellow canopy
Slow, like it's in no rush at all
I watch it drip and think of you
How you stay steady when others fall

[Pre-chorus]
You never made me ask you twice
You just showed up, plain and true
So here's the thing I can't hold in

[Chorus]
Ben, you're the calm I didn't plan for
Something in you settles me again
Every storm feels smaller with you near
I keep choosing you, Ben

[Verse 2]
The canopy holds, though the sky won't
Water finds the seam and slips through
Some things bend without breaking apart
That's the way I've learned to love you

[Pre-chorus]
You never made me ask you twice
You just showed up, plain and true
So here's the thing I can't hold in

[Chorus]
Ben, you're the calm I didn't plan for
Something in you settles me again
Every storm feels smaller with you near
I keep choosing you, Ben

[Bridge]
No grand thing, just you staying
Just a hand that doesn't let go
That's louder than any promise
That's the whole of what I know

[Chorus]
Ben, you're the calm I didn't plan for
Something in you settles me again
Every storm feels smaller with you near
I keep choosing you, Ben

[Outro]
Rain still slides down that yellow canopy
And still I'd rather be nowhere but here
