Derek
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
You don’t need loud to hold me tight
Just the quiet after midnight
Your hands still know my shape
Even when the world’s asleep

[Pre-chorus]
The logs went cold, the smoke rose high
But something in the ashes stayed
A glow I didn’t know was mine

[Chorus]
Derek, you’re the calm I seek
Not fire, but the glow you keep
Derek, I don’t need a sound
Just you beside me, safe and found

[Verse 2]
You never fix what’s not broke
Just sit and let the silence speak
Your breath the rhythm I trust
No need to make it more than this

[Chorus]
Derek, you’re the calm I seek
Not fire, but the glow you keep
Derek, I don’t need a sound
Just you beside me, safe and found

[Bridge]
I thought love needed grand design
Turns out it just needs you to be

[Chorus]
Derek, you’re the calm I seek
Not fire, but the glow you keep
Derek, I don’t need a sound
Just you beside me, safe and found

[Outro]
The logs are ash, the smoke is gone
But you still glow — I’m not alone
