Left on the Step
Style: Slow R&B

[Verse 1]
An empty bottle on the step
catching all the morning light
I kept it there on purpose
just to hold your fingerprint tight

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need much to feel it
just a small thing you have touched
it's building up inside me now

[Chorus]
Gemma, you're the calm I trust
not a fire, just a glow
Gemma, steady through the dust
you're the one thing I still know

[Verse 2]
Some nights the glass just catches streetlight
and I think of how you stay
you don't need to say much to me
you just make the noise go away

[Chorus]
Gemma, you're the calm I trust
not a fire, just a glow
Gemma, steady through the dust
you're the one thing I still know

[Bridge]
I don't need the grand gestures
just you, sitting close to me
that bottle's stayed there through three winters
the way you've stayed, patiently

[Chorus]
Gemma, you're the calm I trust
not a fire, just a glow
Gemma, steady through the dust
you're the one thing I still know

[Outro]
That bottle's still there on the step
and so, somehow, are you
