  Verse 1

  I pin the blue cloth to the wire I watch it lift and pull You steady every wild thing in me You keep my hands full

  Chorus

  Dakota, you're the calm in the wind Dakota, the weight on the line Two pegs holding on through the gust Nothing shakes what's yours and mine

  Verse 2

  You laugh when the sheet snaps loud You never let it go I never thought love could be this plain This steady, this slow

  Pre-chorus

  The wind keeps trying to take it all But you just hold on tighter And I'm learning how to stay

  Chorus

  Dakota, you're the calm in the wind Dakota, the weight on the line Two pegs holding on through the gust Nothing shakes what's yours and mine

  Bridge

  Some days the sky won't clear Some days the damp won't dry But you're still out there with me Waiting on the same blue sky

  Chorus

  Dakota, you're the calm in the wind Dakota, the weight on the line Two pegs holding on through the gust Nothing shakes what's yours and mine

  Outro

  The blue cloth dries soft in the sun I'm still here, holding on

  Verse 1

  Two cups gone cold on the counter Neon buzzing pink above your head Nobody here but the two of us And every word you say instead

  Chorus

  Dakota, this light was made for you Half broken, still it finds your face You turn a cheap old sign to gold You turn this counter to a place

  Verse 2

  I never planned on staying this long But your laugh keeps pulling me back in You talk with your hands, you talk too fast And I'd sit here through it again

  Pre-chorus

  The coffee's finished, the counter's bare Still neither of us moves to go There's something building in this air

  Chorus

  Dakota, this light was made for you Half broken, still it finds your face You turn a cheap old sign to gold You turn this counter to a place

  Bridge

  Some folks need the whole sky lit I just need this one small glow As long as you're the one it's on I've got everything I need to know

  Chorus

  Dakota, this light was made for you Half broken, still it finds your face You turn a cheap old sign to gold You turn this counter to a place

  Outro

  Let the sign burn out above us I'll still see you in the dark

  Verse 1

  Sunlight cuts through the shop's back row Catching all the dust we never know Nobody else would think to stay But you turned corners into a whole day

  Pre-chorus

  You blew the dust from off a sleeve Held it like it mattered to believe Something in me started to move

  Chorus

  Dakota, you make the quiet hum Every stray note finds where it's from No one else reads a room like you Dakota, steady and true

  Verse 2

  Boxes stacked like old good years Nothing sold here but what still endures You hummed a tune you barely knew And I fell in step right next to you

  Chorus

  Dakota, you make the quiet hum Every stray note finds where it's from No one else reads a room like you Dakota, steady and true

  Bridge

  Some loves shout to be believed Ours just settled like the light Small and certain, never leaves Easy as breathing, plain as sight

  Chorus

  Dakota, you make the quiet hum Every stray note finds where it's from No one else reads a room like you Dakota, steady and true

  Outro

  Dust still floats where we once stood Still looks like something good
