Under the Rust
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
You found green under the rust
where the frost had turned to crust
nothing there was meant to grow
I saw it and thought of trust

[Pre-chorus]
You don't ask the ground for much
just enough light, just one touch
and still you keep reaching through

[Chorus]
Erin, you hold on like that grass does
under the axle, past what was
steady when the whole field's bare
Erin, that's the reason I love

[Verse 2]
Some things get left in a yard
rusting slow, worn down hard
you never once looked away
you called it beautiful, scarred

[Pre-chorus]
You don't ask the ground for much
just enough light, just one touch
and still you keep reaching through

[Chorus]
Erin, you hold on like that grass does
under the axle, past what was
steady when the whole field's bare
Erin, that's the reason I love

[Bridge]
I don't need the field to change
I just need you to stay
however quiet, however plain
that's enough for every day

[Chorus]
Erin, you hold on like that grass does
under the axle, past what was
steady when the whole field's bare
Erin, that's the reason I love

[Outro]
Still green under all that rust
still here, and that's enough
