  Verse 1

  Two mugs gone cold on the books Neither one of us moved Ayla, I watched you instead Barely touched what I brewed

  Pre-chorus

  You talk with your hands when you're certain I lean in closer to hear Something is building between us

  Chorus

  Ayla, you steady my whole day There's no one I'd rather choose Stay here as long as you're able Ayla, I'm yours if you're a stayer too

  Verse 2

  The pages kept turning to us Not one line held my attention Ayla, your laugh crossed the room That was the only invention

  Pre-chorus

  You talk with your hands when you're certain I lean in closer to hear Something is building between us

  Chorus

  Ayla, you steady my whole day There's no one I'd rather choose Stay here as long as you're able Ayla, I'm yours if you're a stayer too

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand or the golden Just this and the warmth of your hand No promise could hold what I'm feeling No song says it better than plain

  Chorus

  Ayla, you steady my whole day There's no one I'd rather choose Stay here as long as you're able Ayla, I'm yours if you're a stayer too

  Outro

  Two mugs still sit on the books Both of them empty, both fine

  Dream pop · Reverb · Hazy

  A quiet dream pop love song about staying, built from footprints fading on sand near grey pebbles, for love that is steady rather than loud.

  Verse 1

  Footprints by the pebbles fade slow warm sand keeping what we let go you turned back once to find me there that look still glows

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is loud or fast tide comes soft and holds what lasts something in me leans toward you

  Chorus

  Ayla, you're the reason I stay not some fire that burns away you're the calm I didn't plan for steady as the grey

  Verse 2

  Grey stones hold their place through weather you and I still fit together water smooths what used to cut nothing feels like never

  Chorus

  Ayla, you're the reason I stay not some fire that burns away you're the calm I didn't plan for steady as the grey

  Bridge

  Let the water come and take what it takes some things wash out, but this one stays you're the print that never quite disappears

  Chorus

  Ayla, you're the reason I stay not some fire that burns away you're the calm I didn't plan for steady as the grey

  Outro

  Sand forgets, but I remember every step that led me here

  Verse 1

  The evening train comes slow tonight Puddles catch that yellow light I stand here with my collar up Waiting on you is enough

  Chorus

  Ayla, you're the one I'm keeping Every station clock worth watching No one else has ever stayed Steady as you, Ayla, made

  Verse 2

  Concrete tracks all wet and shining Nothing here needs any timing You just walk up out the dark Steady hands and steady heart

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the grand reveal Just this quiet, just this real Something in me starts to lift

  Chorus

  Ayla, you're the one I'm keeping Every station clock worth watching No one else has ever stayed Steady as you, Ayla, made

  Bridge

  Trains keep leaving, trains come back I stay right here upon this track Long as you keep coming through

  Chorus

  Ayla, you're the one I'm keeping Every station clock worth watching No one else has ever stayed Steady as you, Ayla, made

  Outro

  The lights go on reflecting still I'll wait here for you, and I will
