Crusts On The Blanket
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Grasshoppers jump the gingham squares
You laugh and brush off all your cares
The crusts sit left on the plate
I never mind how long we wait

[Chorus]
Elias, you make the slow hours kind
You leave the noise of the world behind
Elias, you're the ease in my chest
With you the quiet feels like rest

[Verse 2]
You tear the bread and hand me some
The afternoon has just begun
You tilt your face up to the sun
I already know that you're the one

[Pre-chorus]
No one else has ever stayed this near
No one else has made it all this clear
So say my name and bring it here

[Chorus]
Elias, you make the slow hours kind
You leave the noise of the world behind
Elias, you're the ease in my chest
With you the quiet feels like rest

[Bridge]
Long love or new, it's all the same
You settle soft into my frame
Nothing about you asks for more
You're the calm I'm reaching for

[Chorus]
Elias, you make the slow hours kind
You leave the noise of the world behind
Elias, you're the ease in my chest
With you the quiet feels like rest

[Outro]
The blanket's folded, we still stay
Elias, I'd choose this every day
