Sleeves at the Same Desk
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Our sleeves keep brushing on the desk
Papers stacked between us, loose and small
I don't need much more than this
You, and the quiet, and no rush

[Pre-chorus]
I stopped noticing the hours pass
There's just the lamp and both our hands
And something building I won't name yet

[Chorus]
Colin, you're the one I keep coming back to
Steady as the morning, plain and true
Nothing fancy in the way I love you
Colin, there's no version of this without you

[Verse 2]
You reach for the page before I do
Our sleeves touch, and neither of us moves
I could sit like this for years
Nothing needs deciding, nothing new

[Pre-chorus]
I stopped noticing the hours pass
There's just the lamp and both our hands
And something building I won't name yet

[Chorus]
Colin, you're the one I keep coming back to
Steady as the morning, plain and true
Nothing fancy in the way I love you
Colin, there's no version of this without you

[Bridge]
Some loves shout, and some just stay
Yours was never one for noise
I'll take the quiet kind that lasts
I'll take you, every ordinary day

[Chorus]
Colin, you're the one I keep coming back to
Steady as the morning, plain and true
Nothing fancy in the way I love you
Colin, there's no version of this without you

[Outro]
The papers still sit stacked between us
Our sleeves still touch, and I still stay
