  Verse 1

  I left my gloves out on the bench and you set yours down next to mine nobody asked me to notice that but I did, and it stayed with me

  Pre-chorus

  It is such a small thing to keep but I keep it anyway and it keeps leading back to you

  Chorus

  Eli, you make the quiet feel full not much is said, and none of it dull some kind of love that never needs proof I found it in you, Eli, easy and true

  Verse 2

  Your coat still hangs beside the door your cup still waits beside my own I never planned on liking this but here we are, and I am glad

  Chorus

  Eli, you make the quiet feel full not much is said, and none of it dull some kind of love that never needs proof I found it in you, Eli, easy and true

  Bridge

  No grand words, no big display just gloves that landed the same way and somehow that says everything

  Chorus

  Eli, you make the quiet feel full not much is said, and none of it dull some kind of love that never needs proof I found it in you, Eli, easy and true

  Outro

  Two gloves resting on green wood that is us, and that is good

• Cold Glass

  Soul waltz · Soul · Organ · Swaying

  A quiet soul waltz for anyone named Eli, built on the slow drip of a window on a grey day and the steady warmth of loving someone through it. Play it for the ones you love without needing a reason.

  Verse 1

  Rain traces lines down the window watching the street turn slow and mellow I keep thinking of your name how you steady me through the rain

  Pre-chorus

  You never asked to be my calm but you are, plain as an open palm and I feel it building, line by line

  Chorus

  Eli, you hold me so easy loving you comes naturally, freely the glass is cold but your voice is warm Eli, you're the calm in every storm

  Verse 2

  The drops slide down and disappear but you're the one thing always clear I watch the street lights start to blur and think of nothing but you, sure

  Bridge

  Maybe love isn't loud at all maybe it's small, like rain that falls steady and sure against the pane that's how I love you, plain

  Chorus

  Eli, you hold me so easy loving you comes naturally, freely the glass is cold but your voice is warm Eli, you're the calm in every storm

  Outro

  The window's clear now, rain has passed and you're still here, steady at last

  Acoustic soul · Acoustic · Soul · Warm

  A quiet acoustic soul love song for Eli, built from one small image of an empty mug left on a step, about loving someone steadily rather than loudly.

  Verse 1

  One mug sitting on the step cold now, but it held you fine I left it there on purpose proof that you were here, and mine

  Chorus

  Eli, you don't have to try so hard this love already knows you well it doesn't need you shining Eli, it just needs you here to tell

  Verse 2

  Some days you come home tired barely say a single word that's the day I love you clearest more than any day that's stirred

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you in the ordinary light seen you when there's nothing to prove and something in me settles

  Chorus

  Eli, you don't have to try so hard this love already knows you well it doesn't need you shining Eli, it just needs you here to tell

  Bridge

  Not the loud kind, not the fast kind just the kind that stays and waits the mug still on the concrete long after both our plates

  Chorus

  Eli, you don't have to try so hard this love already knows you well it doesn't need you shining Eli, it just needs you here to tell

  Outro

  I'll leave the mug out on the step however long it takes you home
