Water on the Counter
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
A glass of water on the counter
beads of it sliding slow
I watch the light just catch it
and think of you, you know

[Chorus]
James, you settle every room you're in
calm comes easy with your name
quiet as that glass of water
you put out all my flames

[Verse 2]
Some mornings nothing much is moving
just the kettle and the sun
but you make the stillness kinder
you make the slowness fun

[Pre-chorus]
I never needed noise or promises
just this, just steady ground
something true I can hold onto

[Chorus]
James, you settle every room you're in
calm comes easy with your name
quiet as that glass of water
you put out all my flames

[Bridge]
No performance, no big speeches
just the way you stay
ordinary, close and certain
that's the love I'd choose each day

[Chorus]
James, you settle every room you're in
calm comes easy with your name
quiet as that glass of water
you put out all my flames

[Outro]
The glass sits empty on the counter
but you're still here, still the same
