  Verse 1

  Two pairs of shoes by the mat Yours are always next to mine Nobody told them to line up They just fall into that design

  Chorus

  Charlie, you're the one who stays Through the noise and through the calm I don't need the world to notice Charlie, you're my steady arm

  Verse 2

  You kick your shoes off at the door Like you're finally home and free I love how easy you unwind The second that it's just you and me

  Pre-chorus

  Some days are loud, some days are plain But you keep showing up the same And that's the thing I can't explain away

  Chorus

  Charlie, you're the one who stays Through the noise and through the calm I don't need the world to notice Charlie, you're my steady arm

  Bridge

  It's not the big days that I'm counting It's the small ones, stacked up high Every time you choose to stay

  Chorus

  Charlie, you're the one who stays Through the noise and through the calm I don't need the world to notice Charlie, you're my steady arm

  Outro

  Two pairs of shoes still by the door That's all the proof I'm asking for

  Verse 1

  Rain came fast, we had no plan You grabbed my hand, we ran and ran One umbrella, barely wide Somehow we both fit inside

  Pre-chorus

  Water dripping off the edge Streetlight humming on the ledge Something in me wants to stay

  Chorus

  Charlie, hold this moment still Nobody else could make me feel Warm like this in all this rain Charlie, you're my favourite name

  Verse 2

  Pavement shining where we stand Puddles catching streetlamp light You're still holding on my hand Nothing needs to be just right

  Bridge

  Let the whole sky come undone I'm not moving, only one Umbrella and this quiet street Are all I need, and you, complete

  Chorus

  Charlie, hold this moment still Nobody else could make me feel Warm like this in all this rain Charlie, you're my favourite name

  Outro

  Long after this umbrella's gone I'll still be the one holding on

  Verse 1

  Rain keeps coming down the glass Signs are fading out of view Somewhere past that grey and fast I keep coming back to you

  Chorus

  Charlie, hold my hand through this Every mile still finds you true There is nothing I would miss More than losing sight of you, Charlie

  Verse 2

  Roads all look the same at night Every turn feels overdue But you're the one thing lit up right When the world goes dark and blue

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need to read the signs I just need to know you're near So say the word, and I'll stay

  Chorus

  Charlie, hold my hand through this Every mile still finds you true There is nothing I would miss More than losing sight of you, Charlie

  Bridge

  Let the wipers keep their time Let the distance do its worst You're the reason I stay fine You were always here the first

  Chorus

  Charlie, hold my hand through this Every mile still finds you true There is nothing I would miss More than losing sight of you, Charlie

  Outro

  Let the sign blur out of sight You're the one thing left in light
