  Verse 1

  We dropped the eggs out of the basket Watched them roll across the rug There was grass stuck to the plaid wool And you laughed like it was enough

  Chorus

  Edie, you don't have to try so hard I already chose you, plain and steady Nothing about this is a guard I'm just glad it's you, Edie

  Verse 2

  You caught the last one before it fell Held it up like a small prize Nobody else would've noticed at all But I keep it behind my eyes

  Pre-chorus

  I'm not looking for the perfect scene Just this rug and the sun overhead And you, right here, in between

  Chorus

  Edie, you don't have to try so hard I already chose you, plain and steady Nothing about this is a guard I'm just glad it's you, Edie

  Bridge

  No speeches, no dressed up words Just eggs rolling loose in the grass Some days that's the whole of it

  Chorus

  Edie, you don't have to try so hard I already chose you, plain and steady Nothing about this is a guard I'm just glad it's you, Edie

  Outro

  Somewhere the shells are still in the grass And I'm still glad it's you I'm with

  Verse 1

  White sheets snapping against the brick Wind gets in and shakes them loose Something in me still holds still When you walk in, I've got no use

  Chorus

  Edie, you keep me steady Through every wind that blows I'm not one for needy words But Edie, everybody knows

  Verse 2

  Some folks love like a summer storm Loud and gone before it's through I love slower, close to the wall Like something built to hold on to you

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched the plain things turn to gold Just from you standing near And I've got more I need to say

  Chorus

  Edie, you keep me steady Through every wind that blows I'm not one for needy words But Edie, everybody knows

  Bridge

  No speech, no grand parade Just this, plain and true Whatever wind comes through that yard I'm standing here with you

  Chorus

  Edie, you keep me steady Through every wind that blows I'm not one for needy words But Edie, everybody knows

  Outro

  Let the wind take the whole wide world I'll still be here, against this wall

• Where the Rope Holds

  Piano ballad · Piano · Ballad · Intimate

  A quiet piano ballad about steady, unglamorous devotion, the kind that holds fast no matter the weather. Good for any love that has learned to trust its own grip.

  Verse 1

  Iron rings bolted into the grey Holding boats that strain to stray Rusted through but never let go That's how I love you, come what may

  Pre-chorus

  I've seen you weather every kind of storm Watched you bend but hold your form Now the tide is pulling hard again

  Chorus

  Edie, you're the ring I tie to Steady when the wind blows through Nothing fancy, nothing needy Just a knot that's always true

  Verse 2

  Some loves drift the way boats do Some loves rust but still hold true I don't need you shining, polished, ready I just need you here, and you

  Bridge

  Let the water rise and pull Let the rope go taut and full I'm not moving, I'm not leaving This is steady, this is full

  Chorus

  Edie, you're the ring I tie to Steady when the wind blows through Nothing fancy, nothing needy Just a knot that's always true

  Outro

  The concrete cracks but the ring stays true So do I, so do I, with you
