Warm Through My Coat
Style: Doo wop

[Verse 1]
Two parcels wrapped up tight
held close beneath my coat
the fryer hisses in the night
and you're the thought I quote

[Pre-chorus]
Steam rising where your hand meets mine
grease soaking through like it don't care
the whole street's cold but we're just fine

[Chorus]
Yahya, you're the warm I keep
standing here while the night runs deep
Yahya, this is all I need
one coat, one flame, one steady deed

[Verse 2]
You split the parcel down the seam
gave me the bigger half again
that's not a thing I'd ever dream
but you don't make it look like pain

[Pre-chorus]
Steam rising where your hand meets mine
grease soaking through like it don't care
the whole street's cold but we're just fine

[Chorus]
Yahya, you're the warm I keep
standing here while the night runs deep
Yahya, this is all I need
one coat, one flame, one steady deed

[Bridge]
No candles here, no violin
just salt and steam and standing near
but you're the one I'd let back in
every single night this year

[Chorus]
Yahya, you're the warm I keep
standing here while the night runs deep
Yahya, this is all I need
one coat, one flame, one steady deed

[Outro]
The paper's empty, we're still here
warm as ever, coat held near
