The Rope Still Holds
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
Footprints filled with foam tonight
Gone before I turned around
You stayed when the tide came right
Both feet planted, steady ground

[Chorus]
Iris, you're the knot that holds
Even when the sea gets its way
Something in you never folds
Iris, you were built to stay

[Verse 2]
Waves erase what we just made
Every mark we leave behind
Your hand in mine has never strayed
Steady rope, a steady mind

[Pre-chorus]
Everything soft gets washed away
Salt and foam take what they can
Except the one thing built to stay

[Chorus]
Iris, you're the knot that holds
Even when the sea gets its way
Something in you never folds
Iris, you were built to stay

[Bridge]
Let the water take the sand
I'm not afraid of losing ground
Long as there's a rope, a hand
Long as you are still around

[Chorus]
Iris, you're the knot that holds
Even when the sea gets its way
Something in you never folds
Iris, you were built to stay

[Outro]
Let the footprints fill with foam
I found the rope, I found my home
