Silver Shelves
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
I lined the tins up straight for you
Wire baskets shining, nothing new
You laughed and said I'd missed a row
Some things you just already know

[Pre-chorus]
I like the hush of ordinary things
The quiet way a small task sings
When you're the one it's leading to

[Chorus]
Catherine, you make the plain hours matter
Nothing about you feels like scatter
You steady me the way shelves hold their weight
Catherine, I never mind if we run late

[Verse 2]
You count the cans, I watch your hands
Some love needs speeches, ours just stands
No grand designs, no need to try
We stack the small things, you and I

[Pre-chorus]
I like the hush of ordinary things
The quiet way a small task sings
When you're the one it's leading to

[Chorus]
Catherine, you make the plain hours matter
Nothing about you feels like scatter
You steady me the way shelves hold their weight
Catherine, I never mind if we run late

[Bridge]
No one writes songs about tinned fish
But you're the calm I always wish
Ordinary, standing next to you
Turns out to be the rare thing too

[Chorus]
Catherine, you make the plain hours matter
Nothing about you feels like scatter
You steady me the way shelves hold their weight
Catherine, I never mind if we run late

[Outro]
Still lining tins up straight for you
Still glad that nothing's new
