  Verse 1

  Steam is sliding off the tiles You're still humming, and it beguiles Nothing fancy, nothing planned Just your hand next to my hand

  Pre-chorus

  This is what the years become Quiet mornings, never numb Something steady, rising, called

  Chorus

  Archibald, you're the calm I found Ordinary love, the kind that's sound Not the shouting, not enthralled Just the steady kind, Archibald

  Verse 2

  Two brushes lean against the rim Mine is worn and yours is trim Small things nobody would recall But I would notice if they'd fall

  Pre-chorus

  This is what the years become Quiet mornings, never numb Something steady, rising, called

  Chorus

  Archibald, you're the calm I found Ordinary love, the kind that's sound Not the shouting, not enthralled Just the steady kind, Archibald

  Bridge

  Nothing here is scald or storm Just a warmth that keeps me warm You don't need to be installed In every verse to be recalled

  Chorus

  Archibald, you're the calm I found Ordinary love, the kind that's sound Not the shouting, not enthralled Just the steady kind, Archibald

  Outro

  Steam will clear from off the glass Steady love is built to last

  Verse 1

  Fingers stop on a cardboard sleeve Under lights too white to flatter I forget what I came here for You're the only sound that matters

  Pre-chorus

  I keep losing my place beside you Every track I meant to find Something in me stays enthralled

  Chorus

  Archibald, you don't even try And still I'm the one enthralled Something steady, something true Archibald, I'm yours, plain and called

  Verse 2

  You hold a record like it's precious Turn it over, read the side I could watch you do just that Happily, for the rest of my life

  Bridge

  No music playing, none at all Just your hands and mine so near This is the sound I'd choose to keep This is the one thing I hold dear

  Chorus

  Archibald, you don't even try And still I'm the one enthralled Something steady, something true Archibald, I'm yours, plain and called

  Outro

  Somewhere a needle finds its groove I found mine, standing next to you

  Verse 1

  Wheels turning slow across the lino Past boxes stacked in tidy rows I know that walk, I'd know it anywhere You make the ordinary feel chosen

  Chorus

  Archibald, you steady me down Nothing here has ever enthralled Like the way you hum without thinking Archibald, I'm glad that you're mine, not on loan

  Verse 2

  You read the labels like they matter Take your time, never rushed or called I could watch you choose tinned tomatoes And find it more than enough somehow

  Pre-chorus

  There's no music here, no lights, no crowd Just trolley wheels and your voice, unhurried and soft And still my whole chest goes

  Chorus

  Archibald, you steady me down Nothing here has ever enthralled Like the way you hum without thinking Archibald, I'm glad that you're mine, not on loan

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand or the gold Just this aisle, just this pace, just you Some loves get installed like fixtures Mine just walks beside me, plain and true

  Chorus

  Archibald, you steady me down Nothing here has ever enthralled Like the way you hum without thinking Archibald, I'm glad that you're mine, not on loan

  Outro

  Still the wheels roll slow past the boxes Still I'd choose this aisle, choose you, every time
