Sodium Light
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
That flickering light won't hold still
but you stay steady when I'm ill
this alley smells of bins and rain
and still you make it worth the pain

[Chorus]
Earl, you're the calm in every storm
under this ugly light you're warm
I'd take this alley over pearls
if you're here, Earl, that's my whole world

[Verse 2]
The bins are green, the light's gone bad
but standing here I'm never sad
you laugh and the whole street feels new
I'd choose this corner, just with you

[Pre-chorus]
No one plans to fall in love here
under buzzing light, so plain, so near
but here I am, and here's my fear

[Chorus]
Earl, you're the calm in every storm
under this ugly light you're warm
I'd take this alley over pearls
if you're here, Earl, that's my whole world

[Bridge]
I don't need the moon or the stars
just this light, these bins, these scars
you make the broken places whole
you're the only warmth I know

[Chorus]
Earl, you're the calm in every storm
under this ugly light you're warm
I'd take this alley over pearls
if you're here, Earl, that's my whole world

[Outro]
That sodium light still flickers on
but you're the reason I'm not gone
