Two Cases, One Lamp
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Two cases on the wet ground
Under a light that hums and stutters
You lean your head against my shoulder
No sound but the traffic all around

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the taxi to come
I don't need the night to end
I just need you close, that's the whole plan

[Chorus]
Yahya, you make the waiting kind
Every plain hour turns fine
There's no rush, no clock, no timer
Yahya, you're steady on my mind

[Verse 2]
The lamp keeps flickering overhead
Casting us in gold, then grey
You laugh at nothing, low and easy
And I forget what I'd just said

[Bridge]
We could be anywhere at all
This damp step, this cracked old wall
And still I'd pick this over palaces
Just for the way you say my name

[Chorus]
Yahya, you make the waiting kind
Every plain hour turns fine
There's no rush, no clock, no timer
Yahya, you're steady on my mind

[Outro]
Let the lamp above us flicker on
We're not going anywhere, love
