Two Fingers on the Spine
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
You trace the spine of a worn old book
I watch your hand, I watch you look
No need for pages read out loud
Some things don't need to be said proud

[Pre-chorus]
Some loves come dressed up in flame
Mine just learned the shape of your name
Slow and sure, it's building still

[Chorus]
Sylvie, you're the quiet in the room
Steady as the moon after noon
Sylvie, you're the calm I chose
No storm needed, just how it grows

[Verse 2]
You dog ear pages I've never seen
Fingers find lines where I have been
You don't ask me to explain the ache
You just stay, that's the choice you make

[Chorus]
Sylvie, you're the quiet in the room
Steady as the moon after noon
Sylvie, you're the calm I chose
No storm needed, just how it grows

[Bridge]
Not every love needs a grand design
Some just live between the lines
You and I, we don't need proof
We just know, plain and smooth

[Chorus]
Sylvie, you're the quiet in the room
Steady as the moon after noon
Sylvie, you're the calm I chose
No storm needed, just how it grows

[Outro]
Close the book, leave it on the shelf
Still your hand is on me, itself
