Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
A narrow shelf, a slip of light
dust turning slow, catching flight
I found a page I marked before
and thought of you behind that door

[Pre-chorus]
I keep coming back to certain things
the ones that hold what steady brings
and you're the one that steadies me

[Chorus]
Edward, you're the quiet I return to
something sure when I feel unglued
not loud, not new, but always true
there's nothing here I'd trade for you

[Verse 2]
You leave a mark on ordinary days
a certain warmth in ordinary ways
I don't need the world to shift or turn
just you, still here, the same slow burn

[Bridge]
Some folks chase the bright and far
I'd rather stay right where you are
no grand design, no upward climb
just you, unhurried, taking time

[Chorus]
Edward, you're the quiet I return to
something sure when I feel unglued
not loud, not new, but always true
there's nothing here I'd trade for you

[Outro]
The dust still turns where light comes through
and I still keep that page for you
