Half the Sandwich
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
You slide the plate over to me
Half the sandwich, no need to ask
Some things get simpler, not harder
Clara, you make the giving last

[Pre-chorus]
The lamp keeps flickering above us
Like it can't believe its luck
Something in me is getting louder

[Chorus]
Clara, you turn the whole room clearer
Every corner, every shadowed part
Nobody's love has felt nearer
Clara, you're steady in my heart

[Verse 2]
We split the hours the way we split lunch
Whatever's left, we make it enough
You never once counted what I owe you
That's the quiet shape of your love

[Pre-chorus]
The lamp keeps flickering above us
Like it can't believe its luck
Something in me is getting louder

[Chorus]
Clara, you turn the whole room clearer
Every corner, every shadowed part
Nobody's love has felt nearer
Clara, you're steady in my heart

[Bridge]
I don't need the whole Sahara
Just this desk and half a plate
Whatever's small, you make it bigger
You make the waiting worth the wait

[Chorus]
Clara, you turn the whole room clearer
Every corner, every shadowed part
Nobody's love has felt nearer
Clara, you're steady in my heart

[Outro]
The lamp's still going, the plate still shared
Clara, I'm glad you're here
