Socks on the Line
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
Grey light comes soft through the yard
Wet socks hang heavy on the cord
One peg missing, you make do
You hum something plain and unmarred

[Chorus]
Mia, you're the calm in the small things
Nothing dressed up, nothing loud
I've watched you long enough to see it
Mia, you're near me, plain and true

[Verse 2]
You pin the last sock with your teeth
Laugh at nothing, catch my eye
No one else would see the moment
But I've been watching, and it's you

[Pre-chorus]
I've loved the showy kind before
It burns out fast and leaves you cold
This is steadier, this is more

[Chorus]
Mia, you're the calm in the small things
Nothing dressed up, nothing loud
I've watched you long enough to see it
Mia, you're near me, plain and true

[Bridge]
No one claps for a morning like this
No one films the washing dry
But I'd choose this over anything grander
Just you, the light, and time

[Chorus]
Mia, you're the calm in the small things
Nothing dressed up, nothing loud
I've watched you long enough to see it
Mia, you're near me, plain and true

[Outro]
The socks will dry and come back in
And I'll still want you standing there
