Near the Handbrake
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Light moves across the glass
Then it's gone before I speak
Your hand is close to mine
That's the only thing I seek

[Pre-chorus]
We don't need the radio on
Silence says enough tonight
So I turn to find you

[Chorus]
Helen, you're the calm I chose
Nothing here I'd rather do
Engine ticking as it slows
Every quiet leads to you

[Verse 2]
Cars go by and disappear
Their light swings and then it's through
Nothing outside matters much
Not when I am next to you

[Bridge]
Some nights don't need a single word
Some love just sits and stays
Your hand hasn't moved an inch
That says more than words could say

[Chorus]
Helen, you're the calm I chose
Nothing here I'd rather do
Engine ticking as it slows
Every quiet leads to you

[Outro]
The light sweeps once more and fades
Your hand stays right where it was
