Salt in the Grass
Style: Indie folk

[Verse 1]
The shaker tips on the checkered cloth
Salt spills out like it costs us nothing
You laugh and don't even reach to catch it
Some things don't need saving, you're one of them

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you in a hundred small hours
Never needed the big or the loud
This feeling just keeps on climbing

[Chorus]
Sherry, you're the calm I didn't know I wanted
Steady as the grass that the wind has flattened
I'd pick this quiet over any fireworks
Sherry, you make ordinary feel like it's enough

[Verse 2]
Grass stains on the knees of your jeans
You don't mind, you just keep on grinning
The wine's warm and the bread's gone stale
None of it matters with you sitting here

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you in a hundred small hours
Never needed the big or the loud
This feeling just keeps on climbing

[Chorus]
Sherry, you're the calm I didn't know I wanted
Steady as the grass that the wind has flattened
I'd pick this quiet over any fireworks
Sherry, you make ordinary feel like it's enough

[Bridge]
No one else could sit this still with me
No one else makes silence feel like company
You're the reason slow got good again

[Chorus]
Sherry, you're the calm I didn't know I wanted
Steady as the grass that the wind has flattened
I'd pick this quiet over any fireworks
Sherry, you make ordinary feel like it's enough

[Outro]
The shaker's on its side, still spilling
And I'm still here, still loving you slowly
