  Verse 1

  Two canvas shoes beneath the awning Waiting there like it's the morning I could pick yours out half blind You leave your mark on everything, in kind

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the sky to open I just need this door to open And find you standing there, unbroken

  Chorus

  Alaia, you're the one I choose Not the weather, not the view Just the fact you're always near Alaia, that's the thing I hold most dear

  Verse 2

  Rain comes down and blurs the street Still I'd know the shape of your feet You never asked to be my proof But you are, plain and simple, that's the truth

  Chorus

  Alaia, you're the one I choose Not the weather, not the view Just the fact you're always near Alaia, that's the thing I hold most dear

  Bridge

  No need to shout it from a rooftop Love like this don't ever stop It just sits there, patient, sure Steady as a closed front door

  Chorus

  Alaia, you're the one I choose Not the weather, not the view Just the fact you're always near Alaia, that's the thing I hold most dear

  Outro

  Two shoes waiting, side by side That's you and me, that's how we bide

  Country waltz · Country · Waltz · Pedal steel

  A quiet country waltz for sitting close on an ordinary evening, when love shows itself in small easy things rather than grand ones. Good for a steady, unshowy love, new or old.

  Verse 1

  You swing your boots against the stone And I forget what I was saying I only came to sit alone Then you showed up and stayed for staying

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this evening is planned Nothing here needs to be said But something settles when you're near

  Chorus

  Alaia, you make the quiet kind I never thought I'd learn to love The hush of you still on my mind Alaia, that's enough

  Verse 2

  The scrape of leather, worn and slow Marks the minutes we're not wasting I like the way you let it go This easy hour we're not rushing

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this evening is planned Nothing here needs to be said But something settles when you're near

  Chorus

  Alaia, you make the quiet kind I never thought I'd learn to love The hush of you still on my mind Alaia, that's enough

  Bridge

  I've loved you loud, I've loved you plain I'd choose this over either one No fireworks, no ache, no strain Just you and me and nearly done

  Chorus

  Alaia, you make the quiet kind I never thought I'd learn to love The hush of you still on my mind Alaia, that's enough

  Outro

  Someday I'll think of boots on stone And know I was never alone

  Verse 1

  Fingers tracing a paper cone Under a light that hums too bright You laugh at something small and gone And I forget the time, the night

  Chorus

  Alaia, you steady me still I found my calm inside your name Alaia, say it and I will Never feel the same

  Verse 2

  We never needed anywhere grand Just this counter, just this pause You reach and I don't understand How your hand undoes all my flaws

  Pre-chorus

  I could list a hundred little things But none of them explain What your quiet does to me

  Chorus

  Alaia, you steady me still I found my calm inside your name Alaia, say it and I will Never feel the same

  Bridge

  Some loves shout to prove they're true Mine just waits here next to you No grand words, no big design Just you, and the fact you're mine

  Chorus

  Alaia, you steady me still I found my calm inside your name Alaia, say it and I will Never feel the same

  Outro

  The light still hums, the night still turns But you're the warmth this whole world earns
