  Verse 1

  Fog is climbing up the glass Your toothbrush leans against mine I watch the little water pass And think you're some kind of sign

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this is fancy Nothing about it needs to be Just you, half asleep beside me

  Chorus

  Enid, you're the calm I chose Not the shine, just the steady kind Enid, that's the way it grows Slow and sure, and hard to find

  Verse 2

  You wipe the mirror with your sleeve Half your face still soft with sleep I never want a reason to leave This is the only kind I want to keep

  Bridge

  No grand words said in the dark Just your hand finding mine on the sheet That's louder than any spark

  Chorus

  Enid, you're the calm I chose Not the shine, just the steady kind Enid, that's the way it grows Slow and sure, and hard to find

  Outro

  The glass will always clear by noon But you, you stay long after

  Verse 1

  Your mug sits cooling by the window mine goes cold across the room we haven't spoken in an hour and still there's nowhere I'd rather be

  Pre-chorus

  Some quiet says the love is done ours never reads that way it just gets easier to hold

  Chorus

  Enid, I could sit like this for hours this hush is nothing like defeat you look up and I feel it happen Enid, that's the part I can't repeat

  Verse 2

  You trace the rim without a word I watch your hands and understand the silence isn't empty space it's just your love in its own hand

  Chorus

  Enid, I could sit like this for hours this hush is nothing like defeat you look up and I feel it happen Enid, that's the part I can't repeat

  Bridge

  No need to fill the air between us no need to say it twice this steam that fades and disappears still knows to leave us warm

  Chorus

  Enid, I could sit like this for hours this hush is nothing like defeat you look up and I feel it happen Enid, that's the part I can't repeat

  Outro

  The mugs go cold on their own tables but you and I stay close as ever

• Sudden Spark

  Acoustic soul · Acoustic · Soul · Warm

  A quiet, plainly stated love song for Enid, built around the small catch of fire off dry pine needles: a steady warmth that flares when you least expect it.

  Verse 1

  Dry needles by the heavy log waited for a single spark to catch then orange caught and climbed so fast that's how you moved right into me

  Pre-chorus

  I wasn't looking, wasn't ready then something lit and held on steady now I can't picture how I'd need it

  Chorus

  Enid, you're the fire that stayed not the flash that starts and fades Enid, second name I'd give to every quiet way I live

  Verse 2

  Some loves burn loud and disappear yours just settles, low and near no smoke to hide what's underneath just warmth that doesn't leave or leap

  Pre-chorus

  I wasn't looking, wasn't ready then something lit and held on steady now I can't picture how I'd need it

  Chorus

  Enid, you're the fire that stayed not the flash that starts and fades Enid, second name I'd give to every quiet way I live

  Bridge

  No wind can touch what's built this slow you're the ember, not the show I'd sit beside this all my life

  Chorus

  Enid, you're the fire that stayed not the flash that starts and fades Enid, second name I'd give to every quiet way I live

  Outro

  Long after all the sparks have gone this log still burns, and still burns on
