Bend and Hold
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Dry grass bends beneath the wind
holds on tighter than you'd think
that old fence post never moved
and I feel the same for you

[Chorus]
Phoenix, you're the ground I know
steady long after the storms go
not the flash, not the display
just the love that chose to stay

[Verse 2]
Slope runs quiet under grey skies
nothing here needs to be wise
you don't ask me to pretend
you're the calm that doesn't end

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen loud love come undone
watched it burn out by the sun
what we've got just keeps on turning into

[Chorus]
Phoenix, you're the ground I know
steady long after the storms go
not the flash, not the display
just the love that chose to stay

[Bridge]
Some things bend so they won't break
that's the shape our love could take
no need to shout it from the hill
quiet as the fence post, still

[Chorus]
Phoenix, you're the ground I know
steady long after the storms go
not the flash, not the display
just the love that chose to stay

[Outro]
The grass still bends beneath that post
and I still choose you, most of all
