  Verse 1

  Streetlamp gold on the wet tarmac Two sets of footsteps, never slack You keep your stride right next to mine We walk it slow and take our time

  Pre-chorus

  I feel the warmth before I feel the rain I hear the echo of your name Something's building, calling me to say

  Chorus

  Finlay, you're the light I lean on Steady as the glow when the dark comes on Finlay, hold me close on a thin day You're my shelter, come what may

  Verse 2

  You never rush me, never pull ahead You match my heart, you match my step When the puddles shine like something new I only want to shine with you

  Pre-chorus

  I feel the warmth before I feel the rain I hear the echo of your name Something's building, calling me to say

  Chorus

  Finlay, you're the light I lean on Steady as the glow when the dark comes on Finlay, hold me close on a thin day You're my shelter, come what may

  Bridge

  Let the whole world hurry past Let it try to move too fast I'll take slow, I'll take you near Nothing louder than you here

  Chorus

  Finlay, you're the light I lean on Steady as the glow when the dark comes on Finlay, hold me close on a thin day You're my shelter, come what may

  Outro

  Two shadows still close on the tarmac I'd walk this road and never look back

  Verse 1

  Our fingers met before we spoke I laughed, you let me have the win Small crate, small chance, but there it was You gave it up and called it fine

  Pre-chorus

  It was nothing, just a market day But I keep turning it around Some small proof that we still reach the same way

  Chorus

  Finlay, you always let me choose Even when it's small, you never lose Something in the way you hold your hands open Tells me exactly what I've got to lose

  Verse 2

  You said take it, I don't mind I said no, you have it then We stood there laughing in the queue Over one red pepper, nothing else

  Pre-chorus

  It was nothing, just a market day But I keep turning it around Some small proof that we still reach the same way

  Chorus

  Finlay, you always let me choose Even when it's small, you never lose Something in the way you hold your hands open Tells me exactly what I've got to lose

  Bridge

  Not every love needs a grand design Sometimes it's a crate, a queue, a line Sometimes it's just knowing you'd give in

  Chorus

  Finlay, you always let me choose Even when it's small, you never lose Something in the way you hold your hands open Tells me exactly what I've got to lose

  Outro

  Next time our hands reach for the same thing I hope it's still you, Finlay, every time

• Water Off the Rafters

  Verse 1

  I stood and watched the drip find you One slow line down the metal rib It found your shoes and not the rest I felt that like it found my ribs

  Pre-chorus

  Small things keep landing where you are Like they were always meant to fall I keep on noticing you more

  Chorus

  Finlay, the quiet ones see clear You never had to shout to win I'd know you out of any crowd Finlay, I'm glad the rain brought us in

  Verse 2

  You didn't move when the drip came close You let it land and stayed for me I liked that you don't flinch from small things It's how I know what steady means

  Bridge

  Some loves need thunder, need the flood Ours just needs one drop, and you Standing there like you've got time Which is the rarest thing you do

  Chorus

  Finlay, the quiet ones see clear You never had to shout to win I'd know you out of any crowd Finlay, I'm glad the rain brought us in

  Outro

  Somewhere a roof still holds its rain Waiting to find you again
