Steady in the Small Hours
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
The tap keeps time while I wait for you
Steam on the mirror, nothing to prove
Even the sharp things rest easy here
You make the whole room feel true

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen you tired, I've seen you bare
No performance, no polish, no flair
And still I'm reaching for more

[Chorus]
Piper, you're the calm I never knew
Nothing hyper, nothing to get through
Some folks dazzle, some folks shine
But Piper, I just want you

[Verse 2]
You leave the light on low for me
No grand gesture, just company
Your hands know where the shelf is dark
And still they never miss, never bleed

[Chorus]
Piper, you're the calm I never knew
Nothing hyper, nothing to get through
Some folks dazzle, some folks shine
But Piper, I just want you

[Bridge]
I don't need the riper years to prove it
I know it now, plain and slow
Love isn't loud, it's just staying
It's you, it's here, it's how I know

[Chorus]
Piper, you're the calm I never knew
Nothing hyper, nothing to get through
Some folks dazzle, some folks shine
But Piper, I just want you

[Outro]
The tap still drips, the glass still gleams
And you're still here, still all I need
