One Spoon on the Counter
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
The kitchen's loud, the pans all clash
One spoon lies still among the crash
Everyone talks, nobody stops
But my whole day slows down for you

[Pre-chorus]
I could lose myself in noise and rush
But your name cuts clean through all of it
And I'm already turning round

[Chorus]
Sheila, you're the calm inside the din
No one else could hold me steady like this
Some hearts need a chorus, mine just needs
One quiet word, and that word's Sheila

[Verse 2]
Plates get passed from hand to hand
Nobody sees what I understand
Under all this clatter and heat
There's just you, and how you make it kind

[Bridge]
I don't need the whole room to feel it
One spoon set down says enough for me
This isn't loud love, dressed up to be seen
It's the kind that stays when the kitchen clears

[Chorus]
Sheila, you're the calm inside the din
No one else could hold me steady like this
Some hearts need a chorus, mine just needs
One quiet word, and that word's Sheila

[Outro]
Long after the pans are put away
That spoon still rests there, and so do I
