Warm Hands, Steady Heart
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
Grease soaks through the paper twice
Steam curls up between us here
The heater hums its one steady note
And you laugh at nothing, low and clear

[Pre-chorus]
I keep meaning to say it plain
Not dress it up, not make a scene
Just tell you what my chest already knows

[Chorus]
Christine, you make the small hours kind
You steady me when I come apart
Nothing about you is hard to find
Christine, you're the calm inside my heart

[Verse 2]
We split the last chip in the cold
You give me the biggest half again
This is not a big or shining thing
But it's the kind that always stays the same

[Pre-chorus]
I keep meaning to say it plain
Not dress it up, not make a scene
Just tell you what my chest already knows

[Chorus]
Christine, you make the small hours kind
You steady me when I come apart
Nothing about you is hard to find
Christine, you're the calm inside my heart

[Bridge]
No one else gets this version of me
The one that's quiet, the one that's slow
You never asked me to be anything else
That's the whole reason I stayed, you know

[Chorus]
Christine, you make the small hours kind
You steady me when I come apart
Nothing about you is hard to find
Christine, you're the calm inside my heart

[Outro]
The paper's empty, the heater's still humming
I'd sit here with you through any weather
