Boxes stacked up in the back Flour dusted on the floor Someone's lighting up a candle Just to see you walk through the door

Brittany, the whole room's singing Brittany, we raise a cheer So many years of you around us We're glad that you are here

Make a wish before it melts away Blow the candle, make our day

Blue balloons tied to the wire Whole street catching your fire Everybody's stood here grinning This is how we start you winning

Verse 1

Somebody's folding chairs away Making room for a bigger day Radiator ticking warm behind the wall We came here to make you stay

Chorus

Brittany, look what love can do Whole room stood up just for you Company gathered, hearts wide open Brittany, we're so glad you're you

Verse 2

Stacked up steel against the heat Nothing about this hall is neat But every face turned toward the middle You're the reason we took our seats

Hear the hands begin to swell Hear the voices start to build Something's coming, can you feel it

Chorus

Brittany, look what love can do Whole room stood up just for you Company gathered, hearts wide open Brittany, we're so glad you're you

Not the chairs but who they're holding Not the hall but what we're feeling Every year you've made it easy Loving you comes second nature

Outro

Chairs will fold and lights will dim This whole room still sings for you

Verse 1

Rain keeps finding the gaps in the ribs Falls in a line down onto your shoe You don't move, you just lean in closer Somehow this is nothing new

Pre-chorus

Water pools where the fabric bends One shoe soaked, but you don't complain Something in me just wants to hold this Steady, unhurried, plain

Chorus

Brittany, this is all I need One umbrella, one small space You laughing while your shoe gets ruined Water dripping past your face

Verse 2

Streets are empty, everyone's run for cover We're the only ones stood still Your shoulder fits right there against mine Like it always will

Chorus

Brittany, this is all I need One umbrella, one small space You laughing while your shoe gets ruined Water dripping past your face

Bridge

Doesn't matter if it's new or old between us A single drop can hold a whole devotion Let the leather ruin, let the ribs bend Nothing here needs any commotion

Chorus

Brittany, this is all I need One umbrella, one small space You laughing while your shoe gets ruined Water dripping past your face

Outro

Long after the rain has given up That shoe will dry, but this stays true

Verse 1

Waiting out by the trolleys watching the light hit the ground headlights breaking on puddles and you're the best thing around

Pre-chorus

Nothing special about this place ordinary, plain as can be but you walk out through the doors and it all means something to me

Chorus

Brittany, you steady me down in the small hours, in the company you're the calm in an ordinary town Brittany, you're no mystery to me

Verse 2

You carry the bags without asking never mind the rain on your face I'd know you in any car park in any ordinary place

Chorus

Brittany, you steady me down in the small hours, in the company you're the calm in an ordinary town Brittany, you're no mystery to me

Bridge

No grand story, no litany just you, getting in beside me and the whole night settles quiet like it always was meant to be

Chorus

Brittany, you steady me down in the small hours, in the company you're the calm in an ordinary town Brittany, you're no mystery to me

Still the light breaks on the puddles still you're the one I drive home to

Verse 1

Rain keeps time on the glass tonight Timetable page lifting in the light Every bus comes and goes without you Still I stand here, waiting for that sight

Chorus

Brittany, you're the one thing certain Rain or shine, drawing back the curtain Some folks search their whole life for company You're the one I found, Brittany

Verse 2

I've watched the numbers change and blur Watched the schedule shift and stir Nothing on that board runs steady But my heart still runs on you, for sure

Pre-chorus

I don't need a reason or a sign I don't need the weather to align I just need to know that you'll be mine

Chorus

Brittany, you're the one thing certain Rain or shine, drawing back the curtain Some folks search their whole life for company You're the one I found, Brittany

Bridge

No timetable tells me when love starts It just settles quiet into hearts I'm not waiting out here to catch a ride I'm only waiting here for you to arrive

Chorus

Brittany, you're the one thing certain Rain or shine, drawing back the curtain Some folks search their whole life for company You're the one I found, Brittany

Outro

The glass still holds the falling rain But I'm not standing here in vain

Verse 1

The fire is folding itself down soft and slow tonight Turning red to a hush of quiet grey and white You are wrapped in the warmth it leaves behind it Safe as the last small glow that holds on through the night

Pre-chorus

Everything loud has gone still and settled low The dark outside is gentle, it only wants you to rest Close your eyes now, let the whole house begin to slow

Chorus

Sleep now, Brittany, there is nowhere you need to be Nothing can reach you here, nothing will trouble your peace Rest in the warmth that stays when the flame lets go Sleep on, Brittany, safe as the ash and the embers below

Verse 2

Somewhere a small light dims but never goes fully out Like the good things that are held for you, quiet and true You do not have to keep watch or wonder about it Someone is here now, staying close beside you

Everything loud has gone still and settled low The dark outside is gentle, it only wants you to rest Close your eyes now, let the whole house begin to slow

No need to chase the morning, it will come on its own You are held through every hour the dark can hold

Chorus

Sleep now, Brittany, there is nowhere you need to be Nothing can reach you here, nothing will trouble your peace Rest in the warmth that stays when the flame lets go Sleep on, Brittany, safe as the ash and the embers below

Outro

The fire has gone to ash now, soft and pale as breath You are held here gently, warm and safe and still

Verse 1

The bus rocks slow while fog is pressing on the glass tonight And yellow lights go sliding by so soft and low and bright You rest so calm against the warmth of my quiet arm Wrapped up and drifting, far away from any harm

Chorus

Sleep now, Brittany, the night is holding company Every light that drifts on by is watching over Brittany Close your eyes, my love, and let the humming carry you There is nothing waiting out there that you need pass through

Verse 2

The window fogs with breathing soft as any lullaby And far off windows flicker like a low and sleepy sky The engine hums a tune as steady as a heartbeat should Carrying you gently on to somewhere warm and good

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the whole wide night is turning slow and kind Every passing glow is just a candle we can find And nothing out there in the dark was ever meant to frighten you

Chorus

Sleep now, Brittany, the night is holding company Every light that drifts on by is watching over Brittany Close your eyes, my love, and let the humming carry you There is nothing waiting out there that you need pass through

Bridge

Rest your head where all is safe and slow Let the amber light above you softly glow Nothing here will ever let you fall

Chorus

Sleep now, Brittany, the night is holding company Every light that drifts on by is watching over Brittany Close your eyes, my love, and let the humming carry you There is nothing waiting out there that you need pass through

Outro

The lights keep sliding gently on the misted glass above you Sleep now, little one, you are so dearly, deeply loved

Verse 1

The house has gone quiet, every last light turned down low Only a slow tap dripping somewhere soft and slow Nothing to fear in the dark, only shapes settling still And you, my Brittany, are the warmest thing I know

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the hours grow long and kind Every small sound in the house is only the night breathing slow Drift now, drift down where the soft dark waits for you

Chorus

Brittany, Brittany, sleep in the hush I made for you Nothing can touch you here, nothing gets through There's a whole quiet world just holding its breath tonight And it's keeping you safe the way that it always used to

Verse 2

The taps have gone still now, the sink is empty and calm Down in the dark kitchen nothing can come to harm Just steel and quiet water, waiting for morning to come And you, wrapped up warm, held safe in my arm

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the hours grow long and kind Every small sound in the house is only the night breathing slow Drift now, drift down where the soft dark waits for you

Chorus

Brittany, Brittany, sleep in the hush I made for you Nothing can touch you here, nothing gets through There's a whole quiet world just holding its breath tonight And it's keeping you safe the way that it always used to

Bridge

Somewhere a slow drop falls into the dark and gone And still you are held here, still you are wanted here

Chorus

Brittany, Brittany, sleep in the hush I made for you Nothing can touch you here, nothing gets through There's a whole quiet world just holding its breath tonight And it's keeping you safe the way that it always used to

Outro

Somewhere the last tap is falling soft into the empty sink Sleep now, my Brittany, safe as the quiet, safe as the dark
