  Verse 1

  Muddy boots left drying by the door I never asked you to be neat You tracked the whole world in before And still I loved the mess you'd leave

  Pre-chorus

  I used to keep my doors shut tight Kept the porch light low and dim Then you walked in from the rain one night

  Chorus

  Bernard, you're the one I let inside Not just the house, but past my guard Nothing about you left me starred Bernard, you stayed when you could've lied

  Verse 2

  The door still hangs there, half open wide Like it's waiting on your next return I don't fix things I don't mind There's a warmth in what we've earned

  Bridge

  I'm not one for saying much out loud But I keep the porch light on for you Every quiet night, every crowd You're the steady thing I lean into

  Chorus

  Bernard, you're the one I let inside Not just the house, but past my guard Nothing about you left me starred Bernard, you stayed when you could've lied

  Outro

  The boots are drying by the door I'm not closing it anymore

  Verse 1

  Dry grass bending where we stand Two pairs of socks, your steady hand You never rush to say a word But I feel loved, I feel heard

  Pre-chorus

  You keep your love in simple things In quiet mornings, what it brings I feel the weight of what's in store

  Chorus

  Bernard, you hold me soft and hard Like something guarded in a yard No one else has loved this way Steady as the end of day

  Verse 2

  You don't dress it up in art Just show me plainly where you start No performance, no big scene Just you, and what your hands have seen

  Chorus

  Bernard, you hold me soft and hard Like something guarded in a yard No one else has loved this way Steady as the end of day

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand or loud Just you, unhurried, unbowed This is enough, this is the whole

  Chorus

  Bernard, you hold me soft and hard Like something guarded in a yard No one else has loved this way Steady as the end of day

  Outro

  The grass still bends where we once stood You loved me plainly, and it was good

  Verse 1

  Salt is drying on the pebbles now The bucket's tipped, nobody minds how Some things just settle where they land Like the way I ended up with you

  Pre-chorus

  I used to think love had to shout But you showed me the quiet route Now every simple thing you do

  Chorus

  Bernard, you're the calm I didn't plan No performance, just a steady hand Bernard, when the noise clears out You're the one thing I'm still sure about

  Verse 2

  You don't need the tide to prove it's there You just stay, however I compare No grand gestures, nothing hard to guard Just you, plain and never far

  Chorus

  Bernard, you're the calm I didn't plan No performance, just a steady hand Bernard, when the noise clears out You're the one thing I'm still sure about

  Bridge

  Some loves crash and some loves stay Mine just settles, day by day You are not a passing spark You're the ground I'm standing on

  Chorus

  Bernard, you're the calm I didn't plan No performance, just a steady hand Bernard, when the noise clears out You're the one thing I'm still sure about

  Outro

  The salt stays long after the water's gone And so do you, Bernard, so do you
