  Verse 1

  Two cups steam on a folded page Cold bench, warm hands, easy weather You laugh and the whole grey day Suddenly feels like it's ours together

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the big words for this Just your sleeve brushing mine, holding still Something in me is leaning your way

  Chorus

  David, you steady me without trying David, twice now and I still haven't left No performance, no need for disguising This is the calm I never quite guessed

  Verse 2

  Some mornings we don't say much at all Just pass the cup, just share the print You catch me watching, you don't look away And that's the whole of what I meant

  Chorus

  David, you steady me without trying David, twice now and I still haven't left No performance, no need for disguising This is the calm I never quite guessed

  Bridge

  Let the ink smear, let the coffee cool We're not in a hurry for once I've loved louder, I've loved like a fool This is quieter and it's enough

  Chorus

  David, you steady me without trying David, twice now and I still haven't left No performance, no need for disguising This is the calm I never quite guessed

  Outro

  The paper's gone soft, the cups both empty Still the warmest bench I know

• Cold Glass

  Country waltz · Country · Waltz · Pedal steel

  A quiet country waltz about steady love, built around watching the world blur past a window while the one beside you stays clear. Good for any love that has settled in and stayed: new, old, or somewhere quiet in between.

  Verse 1

  I trace a line down cold glass watching the traffic crawl below you're humming something old and slow and I forget where I need to go

  Pre-chorus

  The window fogs from our own breath the city keeps its restless pace but nothing out there moves me

  Chorus

  David, you're the calm in every room steady as the glass stays true other loves might chase the noise but I would rather just love you

  Verse 2

  You lean your head against the pane watching lights blur gold and red I'm not thinking of the view I'm thinking of what you just said

  Chorus

  David, you're the calm in every room steady as the glass stays true other loves might chase the noise but I would rather just love you

  Bridge

  Let the traffic hum and disappear let the whole world rush and blur none of it can touch us here I only need to stay this near

  Chorus

  David, you're the calm in every room steady as the glass stays true other loves might chase the noise but I would rather just love you

  Outro

  The glass has cleared, the street's gone quiet and David, I am still right here

  Verse 1

  The floor hums soft beneath our feet That old light stutters, loses its beat But nothing here feels cold or bare Because you're standing with me there

  Pre-chorus

  I've walked this hallway on my own Felt every echo, every drone Then you showed up and changed the tone

  Chorus

  David, you make the plain rooms glow You're the warmth that these walls don't show I've loved you quiet, I've loved you loud David, I'd pick you from any crowd

  Verse 2

  The tiles are cracked but still they shine Reflecting you and reflecting mine No one else could stand this ground And make it feel like something found

  Pre-chorus

  I've walked this hallway on my own Felt every echo, every drone Then you showed up and changed the tone

  Chorus

  David, you make the plain rooms glow You're the warmth that these walls don't show I've loved you quiet, I've loved you loud David, I'd pick you from any crowd

  Bridge

  No grand light could hold what we have made Just this hum, and how it never fades You're the steady hand I never craved Until I saw how you gave it

  Chorus

  David, you make the plain rooms glow You're the warmth that these walls don't show I've loved you quiet, I've loved you loud David, I'd pick you from any crowd

  Outro

  The light still flickers, soft and true But I've stopped noticing, I see only you
