Crooked on the Shelf
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
I keep the crooked books you left
the spines all soft and worn
you read them slow by lamplight
and I loved you every turn

[Pre-chorus]
I never asked for perfect
just something steady and true
and that turned out to be

[Chorus]
Victor, you're the one I chose
not the loudest voice I know
but the truest, closest fixture
the one my whole heart shows

[Verse 2]
Some nights I pull one down
just to hold what you once held
the pages fall open easy
like you're still here as well

[Chorus]
Victor, you're the one I chose
not the loudest voice I know
but the truest, closest fixture
the one my whole heart shows

[Bridge]
I don't need the whole picture
just the corner where you stand
however the years might shift us
I'll keep reaching for your hand

[Chorus]
Victor, you're the one I chose
not the loudest voice I know
but the truest, closest fixture
the one my whole heart shows

[Outro]
The shelf still leans a little
but it's holding, and so are we
