Halfway Up the Wall
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
Streetlight breaks against the brick
Halfway up the empty road
I walk slower when you're near
Something in me finally slows

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted every shadow twice
Waiting on the words to land
Feels like I could tell you now

[Chorus]
Nell, you're the reason I stop and look
Simple as a ringing bell
Nobody else has ever held me still
Nobody else but Nell

[Verse 2]
You lean against the same old wall
Like you've got nowhere else to be
I forget what I was saying
When you turn and look at me

[Bridge]
No grand plan, no perfect timing
Just this street and just this light
You make the ordinary holy
You make quiet feel like flight

[Chorus]
Nell, you're the reason I stop and look
Simple as a ringing bell
Nobody else has ever held me still
Nobody else but Nell

[Outro]
The brick still holds the evening light
And I still stop right where you fell
