  Verse 1

  Rain comes down and finds the gaps two coats pressed close to break the chill the roof above us bends and rusts you laugh and say we've had worse maps

  Pre-chorus

  I stopped watching for the sky to clear stopped counting all the minutes lost because this waiting turned to want

  Chorus

  Daniel, you're the warmth I lean toward hold you closer than the storm allows every quiet thing about you Daniel, still the one I choose

  Verse 2

  Your shoulder takes the worst of the wind you shift to keep me out of it the shelter's small, the roof half gone but I'm not looking for a bigger room

  Bridge

  Let the weather do what weather does we've got two coats and nowhere else to be

  Chorus

  Daniel, you're the warmth I lean toward hold you closer than the storm allows every quiet thing about you Daniel, still the one I choose

  Outro

  The rain will stop, the roof will hold and I'll still want you close as this

• Steady on the Wheel

  Doo wop · Retro · Sweet

  A quiet, sincere love song about the small everyday sync of two people, like fingers tapping the same beat on a hot steering wheel, that says more than big words ever could. Good for new love, old love, or anything steady in between.

  Verse 1

  Sun on the dashboard, windows down Your hand keeps time without a sound I watch your fingers find the beat We don't need words to get around

  Chorus

  Daniel, you keep me steady Every mile feels like home Daniel, when your hand finds mine I know I'm not driving alone

  Verse 2

  Radio's playing something slow You hum the parts you think I don't know I catch you smiling at the road Some kind of calm you always show

  Pre-chorus

  Every road we've ever taken Feels like one we've done before So tell me we've got miles left

  Chorus

  Daniel, you keep me steady Every mile feels like home Daniel, when your hand finds mine I know I'm not driving alone

  Bridge

  No map could hold what this is No song could say it plain But your hand on that wheel Feels like something I don't want to change

  Chorus

  Daniel, you keep me steady Every mile feels like home Daniel, when your hand finds mine I know I'm not driving alone

  Outro

  Sun's still warm on the glass Your hand still finds mine, holding fast

  Verse 1

  Bags swing between us in the dark Two empty spaces hold their mark We walk slow, no place to be Just you, the night, and me

  Chorus

  Daniel, you're the calm I found Steady as the coldest ground Two spaces where our feet once stood You make the ordinary good

  Verse 2

  Some nights we barely say a word Silence never felt absurd You carry half, I carry more That's what the walk to the car is for

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you loud, I've watched you low Through every version, come and go And still this feeling starts to grow

  Chorus

  Daniel, you're the calm I found Steady as the coldest ground Two spaces where our feet once stood You make the ordinary good

  Bridge

  Not every love needs fire to burn Some just wait for your return I'll take the quiet over flame If quiet always spells your name

  Chorus

  Daniel, you're the calm I found Steady as the coldest ground Two spaces where our feet once stood You make the ordinary good

  Outro

  Bags still swing between the lines Where you are, the whole world shines
