Under the Strip Lights
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Basket's heavy, list half done
Fluorescent light on your face
You laugh at something, anyone
And I forget the time and place

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing here is meant to shine
Rows of tins in flat white light
But you keep turning into mine

[Chorus]
Fatima, you steady me
Right here between the shelves and doors
Fatima, so quietly
You're the only thing I'm shopping for

[Verse 2]
You read labels like they're news
Hold two cans up, ask which one
I don't care which one we choose
Just don't walk off, don't be done

[Bridge]
No music here but the hum of light
Still I'd call this a kind of song
You take my hand, it feels right
This aisle is where I want to belong

[Chorus]
Fatima, you steady me
Right here between the shelves and doors
Fatima, so quietly
You're the only thing I'm shopping for

[Outro]
Trolley full, the list all crossed
Whatever we forgot, it's not you
