Two Cups by the Basin
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Water drying on the rim
I notice things I didn't used to
You left the light on for me again
And it means more than any hymn

[Pre-chorus]
Small things pile up into a life
Nothing about this needs to be loud
I'm leaning in to say

[Chorus]
John, you're the calm I didn't plan on
Steady as a porch light left on
Two brushes standing in a blue mug
John, you're the one I keep coming back upon

[Verse 2]
You hum a little washing your hands
I know that sound better than my own
Some folks need fireworks to feel it
I just need you and this worn stone

[Pre-chorus]
Small things pile up into a life
Nothing about this needs to be loud
I'm leaning in to say

[Chorus]
John, you're the calm I didn't plan on
Steady as a porch light left on
Two brushes standing in a blue mug
John, you're the one I keep coming back upon

[Bridge]
Let the years be quiet if they want
I'll take quiet if it's you
No con, no chase, no grand withdrawn
Just this, and it's enough all through

[Chorus]
John, you're the calm I didn't plan on
Steady as a porch light left on
Two brushes standing in a blue mug
John, you're the one I keep coming back upon

[Outro]
The water dries but we stay
John, I'm glad you're mine to hold onto
