  Verse 1

  Rain runs down the greenhouse glass Two pairs of boots stood side by side I watch the water find its path And think how far you'd let me ride

  Pre-chorus

  You never make me chase the truth You just stay close and let it show So here's the thing I need you to know

  Chorus

  Edward, you're the calm I chose Nothing here I'd trade or hide Every door in me stays open Edward, you're my steady tide

  Verse 2

  Mud on the step, your hand in mine We don't say much, we never need to Some kind of love keeps getting clearer The plainer that it gets, the truer

  Bridge

  I've no grand words, no bright display Just this small greenhouse, steam on glass Whatever comes, whatever way I'm glad it's you I'm standing past

  Chorus

  Edward, you're the calm I chose Nothing here I'd trade or hide Every door in me stays open Edward, you're my steady tide

  Outro

  Let the glass keep dripping slow Our boots still muddy, still right here

• Steady as You Go

  Motown ballad · Motown · Strings · Classic

  A quiet Motown-style love song built from a small moment, waiting in a car park with the headlights and a thermos, that says plainly how steady this love is. Fits new love, old love, or anything in between.

  Verse 1

  Rain on the glass, engine humming low Headlights sweep the empty ground I twist the thermos lid off slow And wait for you without a sound

  Pre-chorus

  No one else makes waiting feel like this Every small thing turns to gold When you're the one I'm steering toward

  Chorus

  Edward, you're the calm I'm heading to Not loud, not fast, just true Some hearts need a reason to hold on Edward, mine only needs you

  Verse 2

  Steam rises up between our hands Two cups, the same old flask No grand plans, no far off lands Just you, which is all I ask

  Bridge

  Some nights are simple, some are long Either way I'd choose this ground Where the light swings round and finds your face And everything else quiets down

  Chorus

  Edward, you're the calm I'm heading to Not loud, not fast, just true Some hearts need a reason to hold on Edward, mine only needs you

  Outro

  The engine cools, the lights go still I'd wait in this same spot again

  A quiet love song for Edward, built from the small habit of marking a page and coming back to it, and to someone.

  Verse 1

  A narrow shelf, a slip of light dust turning slow, catching flight I found a page I marked before and thought of you behind that door

  Pre-chorus

  I keep coming back to certain things the ones that hold what steady brings and you're the one that steadies me

  Chorus

  Edward, you're the quiet I return to something sure when I feel unglued not loud, not new, but always true there's nothing here I'd trade for you

  Verse 2

  You leave a mark on ordinary days a certain warmth in ordinary ways I don't need the world to shift or turn just you, still here, the same slow burn

  Bridge

  Some folks chase the bright and far I'd rather stay right where you are no grand design, no upward climb just you, unhurried, taking time

  Chorus

  Edward, you're the quiet I return to something sure when I feel unglued not loud, not new, but always true there's nothing here I'd trade for you

  Outro

  The dust still turns where light comes through and I still keep that page for you
