Salt Paper
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
A cracked plastic box on your knee
Salt folded in paper, careful and neat
You split the eggs and hand me one
Simple as that, and the day feels won

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing about us needs to be grand
You pass me salt, I take your hand
Something is building, soft and true

[Chorus]
Effie, you keep me steady and calm
Effie, your love is a kind of balm
Two simple names on gingham cloth
I'd choose this over anything else

[Verse 2]
Some love comes loud, all fire and noise
Ours is quieter, and still it holds
You laugh with salt still on your thumb
I think, this is the good life come

[Bridge]
I don't need more than this small square
Your knee, this box, the same soft air
However long we've got or new
I only ever want the view of you

[Chorus]
Effie, you keep me steady and calm
Effie, your love is a kind of balm
Two simple names on gingham cloth
I'd choose this over anything else

[Outro]
Fold the paper, close the lid
This is the love I always did
