Vinegar and Salt
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
Vinegar pools where our fingers meet
Salt on your knuckle, and I taste it too
Nothing fancy, just this street
Just the warm grease passing between us two

[Pre-chorus]
Simple things turn holy when you're near
Your laugh rolls out and steadies me
Something's rising, and I can feel it clear

[Chorus]
Mariana, you're the calm in my chest
Hold you closer than the paper in my hand
Mariana, you're my rest
I'd know your warmth in any land

[Verse 2]
Streetlamp catching grease upon your thumb
You laugh, and the whole night softens too
Traffic hums its lazy hum
Nowhere I would rather be than you

[Pre-chorus]
Simple things turn holy when you're near
Your laugh rolls out and steadies me
Something's rising, and I can feel it clear

[Chorus]
Mariana, you're the calm in my chest
Hold you closer than the paper in my hand
Mariana, you're my rest
I'd know your warmth in any land

[Bridge]
No candles, no fancy plate tonight
Just salt, just grease, just steady light
You lean your head against my arm
This is how you keep me warm

[Chorus]
Mariana, you're the calm in my chest
Hold you closer than the paper in my hand
Mariana, you're my rest
I'd know your warmth in any land

[Outro]
Vinegar fades, but this never will
Your hand in mine, and the night gone still
