  Verse 1

  Grass stains on the old wicker lid Half a sandwich left, just as we did Nowhere we're supposed to be Only you, only this, only me

  Chorus

  Elin, you make the slow hours kind Everything simple settles my mind You and this basket, this patch of green Elin, you're the best thing I've seen

  Verse 2

  Crumbs on the blanket, sun on your arm Nothing about today feels like harm We didn't plan much, we rarely do There's nowhere better than next to you

  Pre-chorus

  I keep looking over, keep losing track No reason to want anyone back Just this, just you, and the light won't quit

  Chorus

  Elin, you make the slow hours kind Everything simple settles my mind You and this basket, this patch of green Elin, you're the best thing I've seen

  Bridge

  Doesn't matter how long we've got New or old, I'd choose this spot Half a sandwich, all of my heart You were never the easy part

  Chorus

  Elin, you make the slow hours kind Everything simple settles my mind You and this basket, this patch of green Elin, you're the best thing I've seen

  Outro

  Leave the basket right where it sits This is enough, and it fits

  Verse 1

  Dust on my fingers, crates on the floor I found this bulb that hums and hums You in the corner, wanting one more Patient while the old light comes

  Chorus

  Elin, you steady me like nothing can Sweet as a low chord held on seven Elin, you're the one true plan Feels like a small piece of heaven

  Verse 2

  Sleeves gone soft from years of hands You wipe the label clean and grin We build our nights from these old bands Nothing has felt this good in Devon

  Pre-chorus

  The needle drops, the room goes still You look at me like you always will And something in my chest gives in

  Chorus

  Elin, you steady me like nothing can Sweet as a low chord held on seven Elin, you're the one true plan Feels like a small piece of heaven

  Bridge

  No weapon sharp enough to break this No leaven needed to make it rise You're the calm beneath the static hiss The truth I keep behind my eyes

  Chorus

  Elin, you steady me like nothing can Sweet as a low chord held on seven Elin, you're the one true plan Feels like a small piece of heaven

  Outro

  The bulb still flickers, the crates still stand And I would choose you, out of every one

  Verse 1

  Fog is rolling on the platform now Covers up the bench, the rail, the ground Can't see two feet in front of me But I know just where you are somehow

  Pre-chorus

  Every light out here is dim and grey Nothing certain, nothing clear to say Except your name, that cuts right through

  Chorus

  Elin, you're the light I'm walking to Steady as a heartbeat, plain and true Seven years or one, it's all the same Nothing in this fog can hide you, Elin

  Verse 2

  Trains keep passing, going who knows where Strangers wrapped up tight against the air Nobody else is waiting like I wait You're the reason standing here feels rare

  Bridge

  Let the whole world blur to grey I don't need to see the way Your voice alone could lead me home Through fog, through dark, through anything

  Chorus

  Elin, you're the light I'm walking to Steady as a heartbeat, plain and true Seven years or one, it's all the same Nothing in this fog can hide you, Elin

  Outro

  Fog will lift and leave the platform clear And you'll still be standing right here
