  Verse 1

  Bubbles broke on steel tonight Small and bright, then gone I thought of how you hold a room Even when the lights go on

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the steady flame Nothing dims what you began Every ordinary night Carole, you light more than you can plan

  Verse 2

  I watched the foam catch one last spark Fade before it hit the ground But what you give me doesn't fade It just keeps coming round

  Pre-chorus

  I've seen love flicker, seen it fall Seen it burn out fast and thin But you keep giving, steady, slow

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the steady flame Nothing dims what you began Every ordinary night Carole, you light more than you can plan

  Bridge

  No stage, no shine, no need for more Just you, plain as bread You never asked to be adored You just showed up instead

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the steady flame Nothing dims what you began Every ordinary night Carole, you light more than you can plan

  Outro

  The bubbles popped, the dark stayed dark But you were still right here

  Verse 1

  Two mugs cooling on the step Neither one of us has slept much You laugh before the kettle's done That sound still gets me every time

  Pre-chorus

  I never learned to say it well But something in this quiet holds And it keeps building toward your name

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the calm I chose The warmth that stays when winter goes I'd know your step in any hall Carole, you're the best of all

  Verse 2

  The concrete's cracked but still holds heat You rest your head against my sleeve No one taught us how to stay We just kept choosing every day

  Pre-chorus

  I never learned to say it well But something in this quiet holds And it keeps building toward your name

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the calm I chose The warmth that stays when winter goes I'd know your step in any hall Carole, you're the best of all

  Bridge

  Some loves shout to prove they're real Ours just sits here, plain and still You don't need the noise at all

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the calm I chose The warmth that stays when winter goes I'd know your step in any hall Carole, you're the best of all

  Outro

  Two mugs waiting on the step Still warm because you're always close

  Verse 1

  Salt is drying on the railing water underneath is still trailing you lean there like you own the light this calm was worth the sailing

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the steady hand I know stay a while, there's no place I'd rather go the water keeps on moving on but Carole, you're my constant, calm and slow

  Verse 2

  Morning finds you at the rail again counting boats like they were friends you never rush the view away some peace like yours has no end

  Pre-chorus

  Something in the way you're standing there says more than any word could dare and I keep leaning into it

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the steady hand I know stay a while, there's no place I'd rather go the water keeps on moving on but Carole, you're my constant, calm and slow

  Bridge

  Let the salt keep building where we stood every layer says we're good I don't need the tide to turn

  Chorus

  Carole, you're the steady hand I know stay a while, there's no place I'd rather go the water keeps on moving on but Carole, you're my constant, calm and slow

  Outro

  The railing holds the salt we left you hold the rest, and I am kept
