Where the Rope Holds
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Iron rings bolted into the grey
Holding boats that strain to stray
Rusted through but never let go
That's how I love you, come what may

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen you weather every kind of storm
Watched you bend but hold your form
Now the tide is pulling hard again

[Chorus]
Edie, you're the ring I tie to
Steady when the wind blows through
Nothing fancy, nothing needy
Just a knot that's always true

[Verse 2]
Some loves drift the way boats do
Some loves rust but still hold true
I don't need you shining, polished, ready
I just need you here, and you

[Bridge]
Let the water rise and pull
Let the rope go taut and full
I'm not moving, I'm not leaving
This is steady, this is full

[Chorus]
Edie, you're the ring I tie to
Steady when the wind blows through
Nothing fancy, nothing needy
Just a knot that's always true

[Outro]
The concrete cracks but the ring stays true
So do I, so do I, with you
