Two Sleeves
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Two sleeves resting on the blotter
Nothing said, and nothing ought to
You just breathe there next to me
Calm as green under lamplight water

[Pre-chorus]
I never needed the grand gesture
Just this table, just this hour
Just you, close enough to reach

[Chorus]
Frankie, this is all I'm after
Quiet company, easy laughter
No need to chase what's already here
You're the one my heart moves slower for

[Verse 2]
Ink dries slow when you're beside me
Time forgets to hurry lately
You lean in without a word
And somehow that's enough to steady me

[Chorus]
Frankie, this is all I'm after
Quiet company, easy laughter
No need to chase what's already here
You're the one my heart moves slower for

[Bridge]
Some folks need the fireworks to feel it
I just need your sleeve touching mine
That's the whole of what I'm asking

[Chorus]
Frankie, this is all I'm after
Quiet company, easy laughter
No need to chase what's already here
You're the one my heart moves slower for

[Outro]
Two sleeves resting on the blotter
Still the safest place I know
