  Verse 1

  Rain came down without a warning Two coats pulled in, close and steady Stone above us, cold and narrow You stayed calm, you kept me warm

  Pre-chorus

  I've stopped needing wide open rooms Just this small space, just this hush Something's building I can't hold back

  Chorus

  Brenda, you're the shelter I found Every storm quiets when you're around Nothing about you feels like an accident Brenda, you're the safest ground

  Verse 2

  Years or days, it hardly matters You made ordinary things feel tender No grand plans, just staying close This is the love I'll always remember

  Chorus

  Brenda, you're the shelter I found Every storm quiets when you're around Nothing about you feels like an accident Brenda, you're the safest ground

  Bridge

  I don't need the rain to stop Just need you standing where you are No agenda, no grand splendour Just this doorway, just this hour

  Chorus

  Brenda, you're the shelter I found Every storm quiets when you're around Nothing about you feels like an accident Brenda, you're the safest ground

  Outro

  Let it rain on every stranger With you, I'm always sheltered

  Verse 1

  Cold morning, concrete under our feet Two paper cups, touching, warm and sweet I wasn't looking for this at all Then you were there, and I stood tall

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need speeches or grand design Just steam and quiet and your hand near mine Something is building, I feel it start

  Chorus

  Brenda, you steady this whole wide world Simple as morning, soft as it's told You are the tender place I land Brenda, I'm better with you at hand

  Verse 2

  Trains keep leaving, we let them go No place to be that we need to know Your cup goes cold but you don't care You'd rather stand with me right here

  Chorus

  Brenda, you steady this whole wide world Simple as morning, soft as it's told You are the tender place I land Brenda, I'm better with you at hand

  Bridge

  Long after summer turns to grey I'll still be reaching for your way Whatever changes, this stays true There's no version of me without you

  Chorus

  Brenda, you steady this whole wide world Simple as morning, soft as it's told You are the tender place I land Brenda, I'm better with you at hand

  Outro

  Two cups still touching, side by side That's how I'll always keep you, Brenda, mine

  Verse 1

  We climb until the town looks small You take my hand without a word Our shadows lean across the grass Yours is the only voice I've heard

  Pre-chorus

  I never needed noise or speed Just steady ground and steady you This slow kind of love is what I need

  Chorus

  Brenda, you're the calm I chose Not the kind that comes and goes Some hearts rush and some hearts wander Mine just settles down on Brenda

  Verse 2

  You laugh and the whole hill hears it I forget what I came to say Every quiet thing feels louder When you're standing in my way

  Bridge

  No fireworks, just this long light Two shapes leaning into one Nothing here is new or perfect But it's steady, and it's done

  Chorus

  Brenda, you're the calm I chose Not the kind that comes and goes Some hearts rush and some hearts wander Mine just settles down on Brenda

  Outro

  The grass will keep our shape a while Long after we walk home
