Wet Tarmac
Style: Slow R&B

[Verse 1]
Trolley wheels squeak under sodium light
You're still holding my hand too tight
Wet ground shining like it's brand new
Every plain night turns golden with you

[Pre-chorus]
I never needed the fancy part
Just you humming something off by heart
Something's building I can't slow down

[Chorus]
Hope, you're the calm I lean into
Nothing about this love feels new
You give me room, you give me scope
Steady as an old, worn rope

[Verse 2]
Rain keeps falling on the empty car park
Streetlights humming, holding back the dark
You laugh at nothing, and I forget the cold
This is how I know we'll never grow old

[Chorus]
Hope, you're the calm I lean into
Nothing about this love feels new
You give me room, you give me scope
Steady as an old, worn rope

[Bridge]
I don't need the world to watch us shine
Just your hand still finding mine
No grand plans, no mountain slope
Just this trolley, this light, this Hope

[Chorus]
Hope, you're the calm I lean into
Nothing about this love feels new
You give me room, you give me scope
Steady as an old, worn rope

[Outro]
Wheels still turning on wet tarmac ground
Hope, you're the best thing I found
