  Verse 1

  Your mug's gone cold and you don't care You're still talking, hands mid air Charger cord tied up in knots Like every thought we never spare

  Pre-chorus

  I keep meaning to look away There's work still waiting on the desk But you just said my name again

  Chorus

  Eira, say it one more time I'll drop whatever's in my hand Two mugs steaming, going cold Eira, this is where I stand

  Verse 2

  You reach across for the wrong cup Laugh and swap them, don't look up Small mistake I want to keep Some nights that's enough to fill me up

  Pre-chorus

  I keep meaning to look away There's work still waiting on the desk But you just said my name again

  Chorus

  Eira, say it one more time I'll drop whatever's in my hand Two mugs steaming, going cold Eira, this is where I stand

  Bridge

  No candles lit, no big design Just your elbow next to mine Wires crossed and neither one of us minds

  Chorus

  Eira, say it one more time I'll drop whatever's in my hand Two mugs steaming, going cold Eira, this is where I stand

  Outro

  Steam's gone up and disappeared Still glad you're the one sitting here

  Verse 1

  A wet sock hangs upon the line Small drips falling in slow time Six yellow crocus heads below And you're the reason I feel fine

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is dressed up much Just ordinary, honest stuff But it turns to gold at your touch

  Chorus

  Eira, you make the plain days shine Nobody steadies me like you do, Eira You don't need a grander word Just you, and this life we call mine

  Verse 2

  I've watched you hang the washing out Never once complaining or in doubt Small things done with such care That's what love is all about

  Chorus

  Eira, you make the plain days shine Nobody steadies me like you do, Eira You don't need a grander word Just you, and this life we call mine

  Bridge

  No need for seasons to explain it No need for reasons, I just feel it You're here in the smallest hour And that's enough, I won't complain it

  Chorus

  Eira, you make the plain days shine Nobody steadies me like you do, Eira You don't need a grander word Just you, and this life we call mine

  Outro

  The sock still hangs, the flowers grow And I love you, plain and slow

  Verse 1

  Gravel crunching under my boots Steep hill, but I don't slow down Somewhere past my doubts and my roots There's a gate that lets me in your town

  Chorus

  Eira, you're the reason I climb You could turn away, but you never do Eira, you've been steady through time Every road I walk leads home to you

  Verse 2

  That rusty gate still swings for me Hinges creaking, but it holds You never asked who I'd be Just let me in from the cold

  Pre-chorus

  I've carried heavier things than this Carried doubt up hills of stone But your name is the one I can't miss

  Chorus

  Eira, you're the reason I climb You could turn away, but you never do Eira, you've been steady through time Every road I walk leads home to you

  Bridge

  No map ever brought me here Just the pull of you, plain and clear

  Chorus

  Eira, you're the reason I climb You could turn away, but you never do Eira, you've been steady through time Every road I walk leads home to you

  Outro

  That gate still hangs open wide And I'm still walking to your side
