  Verse 1

  Oil on the tarmac catching gold Nothing much to see, I'm told But you turn the puddles into light Plain old Tuesday feels like flight

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you make the dull road shine Every corner feels like it was drawn for mine Cecilia, walking slow beside you there Ordinary turns to something rare

  Verse 2

  Streetlamp humming, steady and low You hum too, soft, you don't know I've counted every shade you wear Nobody else looks anywhere

  Pre-chorus

  I've said your name a thousand ways Quiet, sure, on ordinary days But here it comes again, it won't stay down

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you make the dull road shine Every corner feels like it was drawn for mine Cecilia, walking slow beside you there Ordinary turns to something rare

  Bridge

  No grand stage, no crowd, no noise Just you, steady among my choice I never needed more than this Your hand, the quiet, and your kiss

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you make the dull road shine Every corner feels like it was drawn for mine Cecilia, walking slow beside you there Ordinary turns to something rare

  Outro

  Oil still shines where the streetlight falls You're the warmth behind it all

  Verse 1

  Crab apples rot by the fence Nobody stops to look twice But you turn ruin into sense You make the plainest things feel nice

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you love what others leave Never once turned up your nose Now watch what I'm about to say

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you're the sweetest thing I know Nothing about you is peculiar to me Cecilia, I would never let you go You're steady as the old fence used to be

  Verse 2

  The grass stays damp beneath our feet Autumn keeps on giving in But you don't need the world neat To let something good begin

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you're the sweetest thing I know Nothing about you is peculiar to me Cecilia, I would never let you go You're steady as the old fence used to be

  Bridge

  Some things fall so soft they shine Sweetness doesn't need to last forever I found mine right here, in you And I'm not asking for better

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you're the sweetest thing I know Nothing about you is peculiar to me Cecilia, I would never let you go You're steady as the old fence used to be

  Outro

  Let the apples fall where they will I'm still here, and I love you still

  Verse 1

  Crates stacked up along the aisle I only came to browse a while You turned round with the light behind you And something in me learned to smile

  Pre-chorus

  Dust hanging there like it had time Like it was waiting just to fall I stood still and lost my reason

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you undid me slow Nothing sudden, nothing wild Cecilia, how the quiet knows you Better than the noise ever tried

  Verse 2

  We talked past closing, past the lights Nobody came to send us home You laughed at something small and easy And I stopped wanting to be alone

  Bridge

  I've loved you plainly, loved you long Never needed it to be a song But here we are, and here it's true

  Chorus

  Cecilia, you undid me slow Nothing sudden, nothing wild Cecilia, how the quiet knows you Better than the noise ever tried

  Outro

  Some light still falls across that floor And I would choose that aisle once more
