Bolt Against the Wind
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
I clicked the bolt shut in the wind
Nothing gets past me while you sleep
This house has weathered worse and grinned
Some things are just mine to keep

[Pre-chorus]
I never learned to say it plain
So I just lock the doors instead
Some kind of love lives in that chain

[Chorus]
Ewan, you're the reason I stay put
You make the shaking parts feel fluent
I'd rust here gladly, iron and soot
There's no version of me that's cruel, Ewan

[Verse 2]
The salt gets into everything
Except the ways I think of you
Some nights the wind won't stop its sting
But still I know what's true

[Pre-chorus]
I never learned to say it plain
So I just lock the doors instead
Some kind of love lives in that chain

[Chorus]
Ewan, you're the reason I stay put
You make the shaking parts feel fluent
I'd rust here gladly, iron and soot
There's no version of me that's cruel, Ewan

[Bridge]
Let the whole coast come apart
I've got one thing bolted down
You're the one steady in my heart
Long after the rest has blown

[Chorus]
Ewan, you're the reason I stay put
You make the shaking parts feel fluent
I'd rust here gladly, iron and soot
There's no version of me that's cruel, Ewan

[Outro]
I'll click that bolt shut every night
Just to keep you safe inside
