Yellow Tiles
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
The tiles go gold under the lights
I'm early, watching for your face
You come in laughing, out of breath
And nowhere else feels like this place

[Pre-chorus]
I've stood in queues that went nowhere
But standing here is different now
Something is about to turn

[Chorus]
Valerie, you're the reason I look up
Valerie, the noise all falls away
Two names called and neither of them ours
I'd wait here with you every single day

[Verse 2]
You hand me half your ticket stub
Like it's nothing, like it's fine
I keep it folded in my coat
Proof that your hand once touched mine

[Pre-chorus]
I've stood in queues that went nowhere
But standing here is different now
Something is about to turn

[Chorus]
Valerie, you're the reason I look up
Valerie, the noise all falls away
Two names called and neither of them ours
I'd wait here with you every single day

[Bridge]
Trains keep leaving without us
We just let them go
Nothing here is urgent
When you're the one I know

[Chorus]
Valerie, you're the reason I look up
Valerie, the noise all falls away
Two names called and neither of them ours
I'd wait here with you every single day

[Outro]
The tiles still glow when you walk in
And I am always glad I stayed
