Still on the Line
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
The handset's warm against the pillow
Your voice is low, half caught in sleep
I hear you breathing through the static
Nothing this quiet ever feels cheap

[Pre-chorus]
You could hang up any minute
But you never do, you stay
Something in that says everything

[Chorus]
Evelyn, you don't have to try so hard
Just stay a little longer on the line
I'm not going anywhere tonight
You are the best thing that is mine

[Verse 2]
I trace the cord out to the doorway
Wondering what you're wearing now
Some nights the silence says the most
We don't need the words somehow

[Pre-chorus]
You could hang up any minute
But you never do, you stay
Something in that says everything

[Chorus]
Evelyn, you don't have to try so hard
Just stay a little longer on the line
I'm not going anywhere tonight
You are the best thing that is mine

[Bridge]
Maybe this is all love ever is
Two tired voices, refusing to let go
Evelyn, I'd hold this line forever
Just to know that you still know

[Chorus]
Evelyn, you don't have to try so hard
Just stay a little longer on the line
I'm not going anywhere tonight
You are the best thing that is mine

[Outro]
The phone slips down against the pillow
Still warm, still holding on to you
