  Verse 1

  Leaves stuck fast beneath my shoe Would not shake loose the whole walk home I thought about how I hold you Same way, never letting go

  Pre-chorus

  I have carried worse than leaves Carried doubt and carried fear But you I carry easy

  Chorus

  Bennett, you're the one I keep Through the wet and through the wear Every step I take is steadier Bennett, knowing you are there

  Verse 2

  You don't ask me to be perfect Just to stay and just to try I have tracked mud through good houses You never minded, don't know why

  Bridge

  Some love comes in loud and burning Ours came quiet, came to stay Like the leaf that keeps returning No matter how far I walk away

  Chorus

  Bennett, you're the one I keep Through the wet and through the wear Every step I take is steadier Bennett, knowing you are there

  Outro

  Still a leaf stuck to my shoe Still can't shake the thought of you

  Verse 1

  Wind moved the sheet on the line pins rattled loose but they held fine I watched your hands do the small work the kind that nobody sees or shirks

  Chorus

  Bennett, you hold what matters most not with a shout, not with a boast Bennett, I see it in the way you stay steady when the wind tries to blow it away

  Verse 2

  Basket empty, wire gone bare you still came back to check it there that's how you love, plain and slow the kind of care most never know

  Pre-chorus

  I used to think love had to roar had to knock down every door but you showed me quiet keeps the score

  Chorus

  Bennett, you hold what matters most not with a shout, not with a boast Bennett, I see it in the way you stay steady when the wind tries to blow it away

  Bridge

  No one claps for showing up for filling the same worn cup but I noticed, I always will you're the calm when the house goes still

  Chorus

  Bennett, you hold what matters most not with a shout, not with a boast Bennett, I see it in the way you stay steady when the wind tries to blow it away

  Outro

  The pins still knock against the wire you're the steady I most admire

  Verse 1

  The gate creaks but it holds Wind keeps trying, keeps its plan I watched the grass lie flat and thought of how you steady me

  Chorus

  Bennett, you're the calm I lean toward Every storm we've weathered, we weathered whole I don't need the noise to stop Just Bennett, close, and steady, always sure

  Verse 2

  You don't raise your voice much Even when the whole sky turns I've seen you hold a door against a wind that wanted in

  Pre-chorus

  I've counted all the reasons twice Nothing adds up plainer than this So let the weather do its worst

  Chorus

  Bennett, you're the calm I lean toward Every storm we've weathered, we weathered whole I don't need the noise to stop Just Bennett, close, and steady, always sure

  Bridge

  Some love shouts to prove it's there Ours just bends and doesn't break That rusted hinge still holds the gate I'd bet on you the same today

  Chorus

  Bennett, you're the calm I lean toward Every storm we've weathered, we weathered whole I don't need the noise to stop Just Bennett, close, and steady, always sure

  Outro

  The grass will bend and rise again So will I, however hard it blows
