  Verse 1

  Two cups going cold on green paint you handed me mine without complaint the steam went up and caught the light and everything felt easy and right

  Chorus

  Donald, you sit so calm beside me nothing about this is showy or flashy I could stay here for hours instead just the warmth of your shoulder and bread

  Verse 2

  You spilled a little on your sleeve I laughed, you let me, didn't grieve some mornings say more than words can this one did, and I understand

  Pre-chorus

  No plans, no clock telling us to move nothing here that we need to prove just this bench, and you, pulling me in

  Chorus

  Donald, you sit so calm beside me nothing about this is showy or flashy I could stay here for hours instead just the warmth of your shoulder and bread

  Bridge

  I've loved you in louder, harder days but this is the one that always stays two cups, a bench, your hand near mine

  Chorus

  Donald, you sit so calm beside me nothing about this is showy or flashy I could stay here for hours instead just the warmth of your shoulder and bread

  Outro

  The cups went cold, we didn't care Donald, I'd sit forever there

  Verse 1

  Two gulls stood still on the damp sand Beside one boot, left there alone I thought of how you take my hand And make the strangest places home

  Chorus

  Donald, you steady my whole day There's no one else I'd rather choose Whatever the tide drags away Donald, it's you I never lose

  Verse 2

  The morning wasn't much to see Grey water, one forgotten boot But you were right there next to me And that's what made the picture true

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need more than what we've got A quiet walk, a hand to hold And every plain and ordinary spot

  Chorus

  Donald, you steady my whole day There's no one else I'd rather choose Whatever the tide drags away Donald, it's you I never lose

  Bridge

  Let the water come and take the shore I'll still be standing where you are Every year I love you more Near or however far

  Chorus

  Donald, you steady my whole day There's no one else I'd rather choose Whatever the tide drags away Donald, it's you I never lose

  Outro

  Two gulls still stand on the sand One boot, and you, and my whole hand

• Slow Under the Sodium Light

  Doo wop · Retro · Sweet

  A quiet doo wop love song for anyone named Donald, built around the small, steady sight of a trolley rolling home under the lights, and the calm certainty of loving someone that plainly.

  Verse 1

  Empty tarmac, sodium glow One trolley rolling, slow and free Nothing else moving out there tonight Just like the way you move through me

  Chorus

  Donald, you're the calm I chose Steady as that light above Nobody else has ever known Donald, this easy kind of love

  Verse 2

  No rush here, no reason to run We take the long way, we don't mind Some folks chase the noise and the crowd You're the quiet I wanted to find

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched small things roll home before Never thought they'd mean much at all Then you showed me what steady's for

  Chorus

  Donald, you're the calm I chose Steady as that light above Nobody else has ever known Donald, this easy kind of love

  Bridge

  Some nights are loud, some nights are still This one's still, and you're right here That's really all I ever want

  Chorus

  Donald, you're the calm I chose Steady as that light above Nobody else has ever known Donald, this easy kind of love

  Outro

  Trolley's stopped, the lot's gone quiet I'm still here, still glad it's you
