  Verse 1

  Two cups steaming on wet steel Streetlights flicker, catch and reel Nobody else is out this late You make the cold feel real

  Pre-chorus

  I keep losing track of time Every word you say lands fine Something in me wants to stay

  Chorus

  Axel, you make quiet feel like home Never asking me to be alone Steam rises slow, the night stands still Axel, you're the warmth I've known

  Verse 2

  The bench is cold beneath us both You laugh and I forget the frost Streetlight hums a broken song This moment isn't lost

  Pre-chorus

  I keep losing track of time Every word you say lands fine Something in me wants to stay

  Chorus

  Axel, you make quiet feel like home Never asking me to be alone Steam rises slow, the night stands still Axel, you're the warmth I've known

  Bridge

  No need to fill the silence up You just sit here, hands round the cup That's enough, that's always enough

  Chorus

  Axel, you make quiet feel like home Never asking me to be alone Steam rises slow, the night stands still Axel, you're the warmth I've known

  Outro

  Cups gone cold on the metal bench You're still here, that's all I need

  Verse 1

  Spread the blanket on the grass Let the sheep move slow and free Nothing here is asking fast You just settle into me

  Pre-chorus

  The wall has stood here longer Than either of us knew But nothing makes me stronger Than the way I lean toward you

  Chorus

  Axel, you're the calm I found Wrapped up warm against the chill Axel, you're the steady ground When the whole wide world stands still

  Verse 2

  Wind moves soft across the field No one's rushing, no one's late Every worry I could wield Just dissolves when you sit straight

  Pre-chorus

  The wall has stood here longer Than either of us knew But nothing makes me stronger Than the way I lean toward you

  Chorus

  Axel, you're the calm I found Wrapped up warm against the chill Axel, you're the steady ground When the whole wide world stands still

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand or new I just need this, and I need you

  Chorus

  Axel, you're the calm I found Wrapped up warm against the chill Axel, you're the steady ground When the whole wide world stands still

  Outro

  Fold the blanket, take my hand This is all I understand

  Verse 1

  The engine hums beneath our feet I feel it rattle in my chest You hold the rail and hold me too Steadier than all the rest

  Chorus

  Axel, you're the calm I lean on Nothing shakes when you're this near Axel, through the noise and motion You're the one thing always clear

  Verse 2

  Red rings shiver on white rails Bolted tight against the swell You reach for my hand instead And that steadies me as well

  Pre-chorus

  I've been in rougher water Before I learned your name Now the shaking doesn't scare me

  Chorus

  Axel, you're the calm I lean on Nothing shakes when you're this near Axel, through the noise and motion You're the one thing always clear

  Bridge

  Let the whole deck tremble on I'm not going anywhere You're the reason I stay standing Right here in the open air

  Chorus

  Axel, you're the calm I lean on Nothing shakes when you're this near Axel, through the noise and motion You're the one thing always clear

  Outro

  The engine hums, the rails still shake But I'm not moving, holding you
