  Verse 1

  I crushed a leaf between my palms the green stayed on like a psalm you sat beside me on that bench saying nothing, holding my hand

  Pre-chorus

  I didn't need the words to come just needed you to stay this long and now my heart won't settle down

  Chorus

  Ewan, you are steady ground the quiet kind of love I've found not fluent yet in all you mean but learning you like scripture, clean

  Verse 2

  The smell stuck on my fingers for days a small green proof I can't erase you laughed at how I held my hands up like something sacred, like enough

  Chorus

  Ewan, you are steady ground the quiet kind of love I've found not fluent yet in all you mean but learning you like scripture, clean

  Bridge

  No ruin in this, no rush, no ache just two palms pressed for love's own sake you don't shout it, you just stay and that has made all the difference, truly

  Chorus

  Ewan, you are steady ground the quiet kind of love I've found not fluent yet in all you mean but learning you like scripture, clean

  Outro

  My palms still carry that green shade this is the love that quiet made

  Verse 1

  I clicked the bolt shut in the wind Nothing gets past me while you sleep This house has weathered worse and grinned Some things are just mine to keep

  Pre-chorus

  I never learned to say it plain So I just lock the doors instead Some kind of love lives in that chain

  Chorus

  Ewan, you're the reason I stay put You make the shaking parts feel fluent I'd rust here gladly, iron and soot There's no version of me that's cruel, Ewan

  Verse 2

  The salt gets into everything Except the ways I think of you Some nights the wind won't stop its sting But still I know what's true

  Pre-chorus

  I never learned to say it plain So I just lock the doors instead Some kind of love lives in that chain

  Chorus

  Ewan, you're the reason I stay put You make the shaking parts feel fluent I'd rust here gladly, iron and soot There's no version of me that's cruel, Ewan

  Bridge

  Let the whole coast come apart I've got one thing bolted down You're the one steady in my heart Long after the rest has blown

  Chorus

  Ewan, you're the reason I stay put You make the shaking parts feel fluent I'd rust here gladly, iron and soot There's no version of me that's cruel, Ewan

  Outro

  I'll click that bolt shut every night Just to keep you safe inside

  Verse 1

  I left the canvas out in the rain colour running down like it had a plan mud on my shoes from standing still too long watching you laugh like nothing was a strain

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing I paint ever comes out clean half of it drips before it's seen but I keep going, because of you

  Chorus

  Ewan, you steady me when I run half finished things still turn out fine muddy shoes and paint that never dries Ewan, you're the truest one

  Verse 2

  You never asked the picture to be neat you just stood there in your ruined shoes said the mess was where the colour lives and somehow that undid me at the feet

  Bridge

  I used to think love had to be pristine now I know it's closer to a scene still wet, still moving, never quite the same glad I never learned to hide the stain

  Chorus

  Ewan, you steady me when I run half finished things still turn out fine muddy shoes and paint that never dries Ewan, you're the truest one

  Outro

  The shoes still carry colour from that day I wouldn't wash a single fleck away
