  Verse 1

  The tap keeps dripping, slow and small Paper plates stacked by the wall Nobody's rushing, nothing to prove You just stay easy, however I move

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you laugh at nothing much Felt something settle at your touch And now the quiet's asking me to stay

  Chorus

  Barrett, you're the calm I didn't earn Steady as the water's slow return Barrett, easy as the light stays late I'd choose you plain, no need to wait

  Verse 2

  Water finds the same old groove Nothing here has much to prove You hand me plates, I hold the door Small as that, and nothing more

  Chorus

  Barrett, you're the calm I didn't earn Steady as the water's slow return Barrett, easy as the light stays late I'd choose you plain, no need to wait

  Bridge

  No grand thing to prove it true Just how I breathe when I'm with you Some loves shout and some loves stay This one hums in the quietest way

  Chorus

  Barrett, you're the calm I didn't earn Steady as the water's slow return Barrett, easy as the light stays late I'd choose you plain, no need to wait

  Outro

  Let the tap keep dripping slow That's how steady loves still grow

• Wet Shoes in the Hall

  Dream pop · Reverb · Hazy

  A quiet love song about the small, unglamorous proof of someone always coming home to you, built from the sight of soaked sneakers by the door.

  Verse 1

  Blue sneakers dripping by the door soaking slow into the mat you kick them off without a word and I love you plain as that

  Pre-chorus

  You never make a show of staying just leave your mark and walk on through and something in me keeps on saying

  Chorus

  Barrett, you don't have to try so hard I already see your worth you carry more than you will claim and you have from the day of your birth

  Verse 2

  The hallway smells like rain and you two things I can't keep apart I hear the door before you're through and something lifts up in my heart

  Pre-chorus

  You never make a show of staying just leave your mark and walk on through and something in me keeps on saying

  Chorus

  Barrett, you don't have to try so hard I already see your worth you carry more than you will claim and you have from the day of your birth

  Bridge

  No one else walks in like you do tracking in the whole wide world half of it still stuck to your shoes

  Chorus

  Barrett, you don't have to try so hard I already see your worth you carry more than you will claim and you have from the day of your birth

  Outro

  Leave your shoes right there by the door I'll love the mess you're dripping for

  Verse 1

  Steam rising slow over the rim Morning light is soft and dim I stir the cup and watch it spin You're still asleep, and I love you, Barrett

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is rushing me This is all the peace I need And it's leading straight to you

  Chorus

  Barrett, you're the calm I found Steady as a spinning round No need to chase, no need to search Barrett, you're the one I'm bound to

  Verse 2

  The spoon slows down, the swirl goes still Just like you do, against my will You quiet every worried thing You settle me like nothing else can bring

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is rushing me This is all the peace I need And it's leading straight to you

  Chorus

  Barrett, you're the calm I found Steady as a spinning round No need to chase, no need to search Barrett, you're the one I'm bound to

  Bridge

  I've had loud love before It never felt like this You don't have to prove a thing You're already what I miss

  Chorus

  Barrett, you're the calm I found Steady as a spinning round No need to chase, no need to search Barrett, you're the one I'm bound to

  Outro

  The spoon has stopped, the cup runs cold Barrett, you're the warmth I hold
