Socks on the Line
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
White socks snap between two posts
Nothing fancy, just the breeze
You hum something while you work
I could watch you if you please

[Pre-chorus]
It's not the socks or the line
It's how you make small things good
I feel it building in my chest

[Chorus]
Donna, you're the calm I chose
Not loud, not much to prove
Something steady, something close
Donna, I'm not going to move

[Verse 2]
The pegs are old, the line is thin
Still it holds up everything
You laugh when the wind gets in
That sound is what I'm keeping

[Pre-chorus]
It's not the socks or the line
It's how you make small things good
I feel it building in my chest

[Chorus]
Donna, you're the calm I chose
Not loud, not much to prove
Something steady, something close
Donna, I'm not going to move

[Bridge]
Some days are just washing and rain
Some days are nothing much at all
But you turn Tuesday into something
You make the ordinary feel tall

[Chorus]
Donna, you're the calm I chose
Not loud, not much to prove
Something steady, something close
Donna, I'm not going to move

[Outro]
The socks come in, the line goes bare
You're still the one I want out there
