Salt on Green Paper
Style: Slow R&B

[Verse 1]
Salt fell across the green paper
Grease soaked through where the fold gave way
Nothing about it was fancy
You laughed and called it a keeper

[Pre-chorus]
I never planned to say this here
But something in me got braver
So before the moment slips

[Chorus]
Orla, you turn plain things golden
Even the mess looks like a blessing
I don't need the grand or the sold thing
Just you, Orla, and this evening

[Verse 2]
You fold the paper back so gently
Like it still holds something precious
I watch your hands and I'm certain
This is the part I'll remember

[Chorus]
Orla, you turn plain things golden
Even the mess looks like a blessing
I don't need the grand or the sold thing
Just you, Orla, and this evening

[Bridge]
No candles lit, no speech prepared
Just salt and grease and you right there
That's the love I want to keep

[Chorus]
Orla, you turn plain things golden
Even the mess looks like a blessing
I don't need the grand or the sold thing
Just you, Orla, and this evening

[Outro]
The paper's torn but still holds together
Like us, a little worn, still here
