  Verse 1

  One chipped mug left in the sink water gone cold while I think how you take your tea each day small thing but it never goes away

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the steady kind the sort of love that stays behind not loud, not new, but always true Declan, I'd choose this life with you

  Verse 2

  You laughed at the crack along the rim said it still holds tea to the brim I kept it because you did too that's how I learned to hold onto you

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about us needs to shout this is what quiet love's about and every day it's proving out

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the steady kind the sort of love that stays behind not loud, not new, but always true Declan, I'd choose this life with you

  Bridge

  Some loves burn and some loves bend yours is the kind that doesn't end not a spark but a lasting flame Declan, you make the ordinary feel unchanged

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the steady kind the sort of love that stays behind not loud, not new, but always true Declan, I'd choose this life with you

  Outro

  That same mug's soaking there tonight and so is this, still holding tight

  Verse 1

  Bark curls slow inside the drum Takes its time before it comes No rush in how it turns to flame I love you steady, I love you some

  Pre-chorus

  I used to want the quick, bright kind Now I want the kind that stays Something building toward your name

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the fire that holds Not the spark, the warmth that grows Every night I bank it down Knowing you, my heart, unfolds

  Verse 2

  Some loves burn out in an hour Yours keeps low and keeps its power I've stopped waiting for the blaze You're the coal beneath the flower

  Bridge

  Let them chase the sudden shine I'll take slow and I'll take mine You don't flicker, you don't fade That's the reason you are mine

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the fire that holds Not the spark, the warmth that grows Every night I bank it down Knowing you, my heart, unfolds

  Outro

  The drum still holds its quiet heat Steady is the love complete

  Verse 1

  The cable's tangled by the bed Water's gone cold in the glass But you reached for me instead And made the whole night pass

  Pre-chorus

  I keep the small things you leave behind A glass, a cord, a coat on the chair They tell me exactly where I stand

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the one I reckon on When the lights go low and still Nobody else could ever beckon This kind of quiet, steady thrill

  Verse 2

  You fall asleep before the film ends Phone still humming on the floor I watch you and something mends A door I didn't know was a door

  Pre-chorus

  I keep the small things you leave behind A glass, a cord, a coat on the chair They tell me exactly where I stand

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the one I reckon on When the lights go low and still Nobody else could ever beckon This kind of quiet, steady thrill

  Bridge

  No grand words, no big scene Just you, half asleep, half here That's the truest love I've seen No dressing up, nothing to fear

  Chorus

  Declan, you're the one I reckon on When the lights go low and still Nobody else could ever beckon This kind of quiet, steady thrill

  Outro

  I'll leave the glass right where it sits Beside you, always, in bits and pieces
