  Verse 1

  Two heavy suitcases lean on the bench Yellow paint peeling, worn from the wrench Nobody rushing, no train yet in sight You lean on my shoulder, everything's right

  Pre-chorus

  I've counted the ways I could lose you Counted the trains that come and go But my feet stay planted right here

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you're the one I'd never miss Been waiting my whole life to kiss her Alyssa, steady as this bench we share Nothing feels lonely when you're there

  Verse 2

  We don't need somewhere new to prove it Sitting still is how we move it Your hand finds mine without a word Quiet love is the truest I've heard

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you're the one I'd never miss Been waiting my whole life to kiss her Alyssa, steady as this bench we share Nothing feels lonely when you're there

  Bridge

  Let the trains keep their timetables We're not bound by what departs I already got where I'm going The minute you sat down close

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you're the one I'd never miss Been waiting my whole life to kiss her Alyssa, steady as this bench we share Nothing feels lonely when you're there

  Outro

  Two bags still lean on that bench You're the one thing I won't relinquish

• Blue on Glass

  Irish air · Irish · Whistle · Lilting

  A quiet love song built from one small, domestic sign that someone has moved in and stayed: a toothbrush on a shelf. Fits new love, long love, or love grown ordinary and safe.

  Verse 1

  You left your toothbrush by the razor stayed the night and never asked small blue thing against the silver I don't want you gone by morning

  Pre-chorus

  I never thought a shelf could hold this two small things leaned close like that now my whole house waits for you

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you've gone and settled in me not loud, not sudden, just like breathing some folks arrive with bells and speeches you just stayed, and I'd miss her

  Verse 2

  You laugh at how I fold the towels say I fuss too much with order then you leave your cup right where it lands and somehow that's the part I love

  Pre-chorus

  I never thought a shelf could hold this two small things leaned close like that now my whole house waits for you

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you've gone and settled in me not loud, not sudden, just like breathing some folks arrive with bells and speeches you just stayed, and I'd miss her

  Bridge

  I know this isn't much to sing about a blue brush and a bit of glass but I keep looking at it, thinking you chose to leave a piece of you here

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you've gone and settled in me not loud, not sudden, just like breathing some folks arrive with bells and speeches you just stayed, and I'd miss her

  Outro

  Someday that shelf will just be a shelf but tonight it's you, still standing near

• Stacked and Waiting

  Dream pop · Reverb · Hazy

  A quiet love song about all the plans still unopened, and choosing the person over every one of them.

  Verse 1

  Books stacked high beneath the table Every page still shut and new None of them can hold my patience Nothing reads the way you do

  Pre-chorus

  I keep meaning to begin them Keep choosing you instead So the stories wait a little longer

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you're the one I open Every single time Melissa never turned my head like this You're the only line

  Verse 2

  Dust collects on all those corners Words that never left the shelf You're the story I keep living Better than I write myself

  Pre-chorus

  I keep meaning to begin them Keep choosing you instead So the stories wait a little longer

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you're the one I open Every single time Melissa never turned my head like this You're the only line

  Bridge

  Let the paperbacks stay closed You're the chapter I need most

  Chorus

  Alyssa, you're the one I open Every single time Melissa never turned my head like this You're the only line

  Outro

  Let the books stay stacked and waiting You're the only page I need
