Under the Archway
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Rain found the handle by the wall
Cold metal dripping down the alley
You laughed and pulled me in the arch
I wasn't going anywhere at all

[Pre-chorus]
The water kept on falling slow
You looked at me like I should know
So I'll say it now before it goes

[Chorus]
Mali, you're the one I choose
There's no version where I lose
Steady as a low green valley
Mali, this was never news

[Verse 2]
We waited out the whole grey sky
You traced the drips along my sleeve
Nobody else was on that street
Just us two with nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Mali, you're the one I choose
There's no version where I lose
Steady as a low green valley
Mali, this was never news

[Bridge]
I don't need thunder, don't need noise
Just you close and the quiet poise
Some loves rally loud and fast
Ours just settles in and stays

[Chorus]
Mali, you're the one I choose
There's no version where I lose
Steady as a low green valley
Mali, this was never news

[Outro]
Long after that rain has dried
You're still the one stood by my side
