Under the Gas Light
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Leaves are stuck along the pavement crack
Orange light comes down so slow
I keep walking just to stay near you
There is nowhere else I need to go

[Chorus]
Everly, you steady me like nothing else can
Some things fade, but you don't fade
You're the warmth I find on the coldest street
Everly, you're the best thing this town ever made

[Verse 2]
Rain has stopped but the ground still shines
Every crack is holding on to light
I think that's how I hold on to you
Quiet, careful, keeping you in sight

[Pre-chorus]
I've walked this street a hundred times alone
Never knew what I was waiting for
Then you showed up like the lamp turned on

[Chorus]
Everly, you steady me like nothing else can
Some things fade, but you don't fade
You're the warmth I find on the coldest street
Everly, you're the best thing this town ever made

[Bridge]
Doesn't matter if it's new or old as bones
This kind of love just knows how to stay
Like light that keeps on falling soft and slow
Finding every crack to lay itself away

[Chorus]
Everly, you steady me like nothing else can
Some things fade, but you don't fade
You're the warmth I find on the coldest street
Everly, you're the best thing this town ever made

[Outro]
The leaves will always find that same old crack
And I'll always find my way back to you
