Slow to Fade
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Cold water pulls but never wins
Your steps stay pressed on smooth stone
I watch the light where it begins
And know I'd rather not be alone

[Chorus]
Eliana, you're the mark that stays
Long after the tide moves through
Diana never held me the way
I'm held when I'm holding you

[Verse 2]
The pebbles keep what feet leave behind
Small proof that somebody was here
You're stitched into the back of my mind
Plain as morning, calm and clear

[Pre-chorus]
No need to raise my voice to prove it
No need to make it loud
Just this quiet, and I'm moving toward you

[Chorus]
Eliana, you're the mark that stays
Long after the tide moves through
Diana never held me the way
I'm held when I'm holding you

[Bridge]
Water comes and takes its share
But some prints dry too deep to lose
I found something worth keeping there
The day I started choosing you

[Chorus]
Eliana, you're the mark that stays
Long after the tide moves through
Diana never held me the way
I'm held when I'm holding you

[Outro]
The shoreline dries but holds its shape
So does this, so do I
