The Book I Keep Taking Down
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
I keep one book near the front
Worn soft from how I hold it
You're the reason I still reach there
Some things I never outgrow it

[Pre-chorus]
No one sees why I go back
To the same spine, the same line
But you're the reason I do

[Chorus]
Marshall, you're the shelf I trust
Steady when the room goes dark
Marshall, under all this dust
You're the one thing left to mark

[Verse 2]
Other books get moved and traded
New ones come to take their place
You stay put like something founded
Nothing else can fill your space

[Chorus]
Marshall, you're the shelf I trust
Steady when the room goes dark
Marshall, under all this dust
You're the one thing left to mark

[Bridge]
I don't need the whole thing loud
I just need you within reach
Some loves are quiet on purpose
Yours is the one I keep

[Chorus]
Marshall, you're the shelf I trust
Steady when the room goes dark
Marshall, under all this dust
You're the one thing left to mark

[Outro]
I'll take that same book down again
Glad you're still the page I'm on
