  Verse 1

  You take the heavier bag from me won't hear a word of no the street is empty, just us two and slower than we need to go

  Chorus

  Alfred, my hands are full of you every load feels light instead there's no one else I'd rather choose to walk beside me home, Alfred

  Verse 2

  Your glove is worn thin at the thumb I notice things like that the way you slow to match my step the way you hang back and chat

  Pre-chorus

  I've carried plenty on my own but never liked the weight now every step is leaning in

  Chorus

  Alfred, my hands are full of you every load feels light instead there's no one else I'd rather choose to walk beside me home, Alfred

  Bridge

  Some loves shout and some loves burn this one just keeps in step it's steady as a held-out hand it's all the proof I've kept

  Chorus

  Alfred, my hands are full of you every load feels light instead there's no one else I'd rather choose to walk beside me home, Alfred

  Outro

  Swap the bags from hand to hand still glad to walk this slow

  Verse 1

  Dark platform, cold along the rails Waiting is a thing that never fails Then a green light comes on through And I remember I have you

  Pre-chorus

  Sparks fly up against the grey Something in me starts to sway I feel it building, come what may

  Chorus

  Alfred, you're the light I'm watching for Steady as the trains, and so much more Alfred, you're the reason that I'm here Every time you're close, the dark gets clear

  Verse 2

  Metal humming underneath your feet No grand words, just something plain and sweet You don't have to shine to make me stay I chose you the quiet, easy way

  Chorus

  Alfred, you're the light I'm watching for Steady as the trains, and so much more Alfred, you're the reason that I'm here Every time you're close, the dark gets clear

  Bridge

  Some nights it's just the two of us No noise, no rush, no fuss You reach for me, I reach right back That's all the proof I need, in fact

  Chorus

  Alfred, you're the light I'm watching for Steady as the trains, and so much more Alfred, you're the reason that I'm here Every time you're close, the dark gets clear

  Outro

  Grey rails still run on through the night But you're the one that feels like light

  Verse 1

  The tea's gone cold beside the books We stopped mid page to trade our looks Nothing here was ever loud And still you're all I ever wanted, Alfred

  Pre-chorus

  I forget what I was reading I just watch the way you're breathing Something in me starts to lean

  Chorus

  Alfred, you're the calm I chose The quiet where my worry goes No one else has ever held me steady Alfred, that's just how it is

  Verse 2

  We let the pages go unturned Some nights are not for being learned Just for sitting close and warm You make an ordinary evening golden, Alfred

  Chorus

  Alfred, you're the calm I chose The quiet where my worry goes No one else has ever held me steady Alfred, that's just how it is

  Bridge

  I don't need the noise or the show Just this room and you to know However far the day has led I'm always coming back to you instead

  Chorus

  Alfred, you're the calm I chose The quiet where my worry goes No one else has ever held me steady Alfred, that's just how it is

  Outro

  The tea went cold, we never cared Alfred, that's the love we shared
