Heather
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
Wooden planks creak where we stand
Your hand finds the rail, then my hand
Rusted metal, cold to the touch
I keep learning I don't ask for much

[Pre-chorus]
Something in the way you lean in close
Something in the quiet you don't gloss
Pulls me toward whatever's coming next

[Chorus]
Heather, you're the calm I didn't plan for
Steady as the ground beneath the pier's floor
Whether skies are clear or turning grey
Heather, I am glad you stayed

[Verse 2]
You laugh and the whole bridge sways
I count the seconds, lose the days
Your trainers scuff against the wood
I'd stand here longer if I could

[Chorus]
Heather, you're the calm I didn't plan for
Steady as the ground beneath the pier's floor
Whether skies are clear or turning grey
Heather, I am glad you stayed

[Bridge]
No promise dressed in fancy words
Just this railing, rusted, worn
You beside me, unrehearsed
I'd choose this over anything

[Chorus]
Heather, you're the calm I didn't plan for
Steady as the ground beneath the pier's floor
Whether skies are clear or turning grey
Heather, I am glad you stayed

[Outro]
Planks still creaking, rail still cold
You're the warmth that I hold
