Steam on the Bench
Style: Dream pop

[Verse 1]
Two cups steam on a folded page
Cold bench, warm hands, easy weather
You laugh and the whole grey day
Suddenly feels like it's ours together

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the big words for this
Just your sleeve brushing mine, holding still
Something in me is leaning your way

[Chorus]
David, you steady me without trying
David, twice now and I still haven't left
No performance, no need for disguising
This is the calm I never quite guessed

[Verse 2]
Some mornings we don't say much at all
Just pass the cup, just share the print
You catch me watching, you don't look away
And that's the whole of what I meant

[Chorus]
David, you steady me without trying
David, twice now and I still haven't left
No performance, no need for disguising
This is the calm I never quite guessed

[Bridge]
Let the ink smear, let the coffee cool
We're not in a hurry for once
I've loved louder, I've loved like a fool
This is quieter and it's enough

[Chorus]
David, you steady me without trying
David, twice now and I still haven't left
No performance, no need for disguising
This is the calm I never quite guessed

[Outro]
The paper's gone soft, the cups both empty
Still the warmest bench I know
