Blue on the Line
Style: Dream pop

[Verse 1]
I pin the blue shirt to the line
I still stop and think it's mine
The pegs bite down and hold on tight
I feel you in the smallest sign

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing here is grand or new
Just wind and thread and you
But something in me lifts and climbs

[Chorus]
James, you steady every hour
Not a spark, but something slower
You're the calm I keep coming home to
James, you're stitched into my frames

[Verse 2]
The fabric snaps and settles down
Damp cotton, heavy, faintly brown
You'd laugh to see me watching cloth
Like it might tell me what I've found

[Bridge]
No one claps for days like these
No one writes them into songs
But you make the ordinary keep
And that's where all my loving belongs

[Chorus]
James, you steady every hour
Not a spark, but something slower
You're the calm I keep coming home to
James, you're stitched into my frames

[Outro]
The line goes slack, the shirt comes free
James, you still hang close to me
