  Verse 1

  I set my boots down next to yours Tired out from the day You don't ask why I'm quiet You just let me stay

  Chorus

  Addison, you make this simple No performance, no big scene Just two boots against the railing Addison, I know what that means

  Verse 2

  You kick yours off before you sit Mine follow right behind Nothing said about the matching It's just how our nights unwind

  Pre-chorus

  I've loved louder before, and worse Chased things that made no sense But you make quiet feel like something

  Chorus

  Addison, you make this simple No performance, no big scene Just two boots against the railing Addison, I know what that means

  Bridge

  Some nights we don't talk at all Just sit until the porch light dims I've never needed less from anyone Or wanted more of them

  Chorus

  Addison, you make this simple No performance, no big scene Just two boots against the railing Addison, I know what that means

  Outro

  Come morning, we'll pull them back on But tonight, they can rest

  Verse 1

  Red cans sitting empty in the shade Waiting on the water they'll be paid Nothing in them, nothing on the vine But I keep believing you'll be mine

  Pre-chorus

  I was running dry before you came Something in me flickered at your name Now I'm standing here, about to fall

  Chorus

  Addison, you fill me like the rain Wash the dust right out of every vein Nobody does it the way you do Addison, I'm empty without you

  Verse 2

  Ferns keep hanging, waiting for the pour Same as I've been waiting at your door Some loves take a lifetime, some take none I knew mine the moment it begun

  Pre-chorus

  I was running dry before you came Something in me flickered at your name Now I'm standing here, about to fall

  Chorus

  Addison, you fill me like the rain Wash the dust right out of every vein Nobody does it the way you do Addison, I'm empty without you

  Bridge

  Doesn't matter if it's old or new There's a kind of thirst that's just for you Every quiet room feels loud with you in it

  Chorus

  Addison, you fill me like the rain Wash the dust right out of every vein Nobody does it the way you do Addison, I'm empty without you

  Outro

  Fill the cans and watch the green come true I was always waiting, love, for you

  Verse 1

  Grass gone dry and bending low Jackets left where no one goes Cold stone underneath us both You reached for my hand, you know

  Chorus

  Addison, you keep me steady Nothing rushed and nothing heavy You just stay, however far I've gone Addison, I'm glad it's you already

  Verse 2

  Wind comes through and doesn't stop You pulled the collar round my throat Some things settle without trying That's the truth this field has taught

  Pre-chorus

  I've been loved in louder ways Never one that simply stays Now I'm learning how that goes

  Chorus

  Addison, you keep me steady Nothing rushed and nothing heavy You just stay, however far I've gone Addison, I'm glad it's you already

  Bridge

  Maybe love's just staying put Two coats on stone, no need to rush Nothing here we have to prove Just you, and how I trust

  Chorus

  Addison, you keep me steady Nothing rushed and nothing heavy You just stay, however far I've gone Addison, I'm glad it's you already

  Outro

  Grass will green again by spring But I'd keep this cold stone thing
