Something in the Ground
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Red leaves stuck to gravel today
I found the spade gone to rust
I stood there longer than I should
and thought of how you stayed

[Pre-chorus]
I'm slow to say what's in my chest
words don't come easy, that's the truth
but here's the one I've never lost

[Chorus]
Everett, I found you and I never met
anyone who'd make me want to treasure it
this quiet thing we've built between us
Everett, some loves you just measure it

[Verse 2]
The garden's gone a little wild
nothing left but damp and cold
but you still ask me how my day went
that's the part I hold

[Chorus]
Everett, I found you and I never met
anyone who'd make me want to treasure it
this quiet thing we've built between us
Everett, some loves you just measure it

[Bridge]
Some things fade before they're seen
other things just stay
you're the one I'd choose again
in every kind of grey

[Chorus]
Everett, I found you and I never met
anyone who'd make me want to treasure it
this quiet thing we've built between us
Everett, some loves you just measure it

[Outro]
The leaves will turn to dust by spring
but I'll still want you close as anything
