  Verse 1

  I watch the glass, I watch it drip one slow bead giving up its grip you're reading something across the room I'd rather watch that fall than skip

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about us ever hurried nothing we loved was ever worried this is the calm I've been reaching toward

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're the steadiest thing I know water finds its way, slow you don't have to shout to be sure Clifford, that's the whole reward

  Verse 2

  The soil below just waits and waits it never asks, it never rates you hold me the same unhurried way like love was never meant for haste

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're the steadiest thing I know water finds its way, slow you don't have to shout to be sure Clifford, that's the whole reward

  Bridge

  Let the whole world rush and spill I'll take the drop that takes its time you are the calm behind the chill the patience I could never buy or find

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're the steadiest thing I know water finds its way, slow you don't have to shout to be sure Clifford, that's the whole reward

  Outro

  The glass still holds one final bead and I still choose you, unhurried, freed

  Verse 1

  Water pools where the doorway meets the ground Cars keep moving, going on their way I stay still when you are around You make the noise outside fade away

  Pre-chorus

  I have counted all the things I need Most of them turn out to be small But one keeps rising like a steady creed

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're the calm I can afford Every ordinary day feels like reward Nothing fancy, nothing loud or scored Just you, Clifford, and the peace we can't afford

  Verse 2

  The rain keeps falling long after dark Puddles catching light from passing cars I think of how you steady every spark How you hold me closer than the stars

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're the calm I can afford Every ordinary day feels like reward Nothing fancy, nothing loud or scored Just you, Clifford, and the peace we can't afford

  Bridge

  No grand gesture, no dramatic sign Just your hand finding mine We don't need the world to understand

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're the calm I can afford Every ordinary day feels like reward Nothing fancy, nothing loud or scored Just you, Clifford, and the peace we can't afford

  Outro

  Let the cars keep passing by outside Water still pools where you decide to stay

  Verse 1

  I walk the shore with you again every stone looks plain and small but you find one worth keeping and hand it to me like it's all

  Pre-chorus

  No colour in the sky today nothing shines to hold my eye but you're the thing I came to find

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're my steady ground when the whole world turns to grey you're the calm that can't be bought the one thing I would never trade away

  Verse 2

  The tide keeps taking what it wants dragging small things out to sea but you keep coming back to shore and you keep coming back to me

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're my steady ground when the whole world turns to grey you're the calm that can't be bought the one thing I would never trade away

  Bridge

  I don't need the sun to break I just need you standing here plain as pebbles, no mistake that's the love I hold most dear

  Chorus

  Clifford, you're my steady ground when the whole world turns to grey you're the calm that can't be bought the one thing I would never trade away

  Outro

  Grey sky, wet sand, one small stone I'd choose you again, and again
