  Verse 1

  The bench is cold but you sit close You never make me feel behind There's something in the way you stay Like time forgot what it designed

  Chorus

  Fred, you're the calm inside my chest Not loud, not fast, just steady, true Fred, you're the one I trust the best No clock could count what I owe you

  Verse 2

  We've worn this bench down soft and green You laugh the same as you did then Nothing about us needs to prove a thing We just come back here again

  Pre-chorus

  The hands above us barely move Like they know we're not in a rush So say you'll stay, say you'll stay

  Chorus

  Fred, you're the calm inside my chest Not loud, not fast, just steady, true Fred, you're the one I trust the best No clock could count what I owe you

  Bridge

  Let the whole world spin too fast We'll sit here till it's done You are the quiet that I trust The stillness I chose, not just found

  Chorus

  Fred, you're the calm inside my chest Not loud, not fast, just steady, true Fred, you're the one I trust the best No clock could count what I owe you

  Outro

  The bench will hold this shape we made Long after the hour's had its say

  Verse 1

  We hung our coats out on the fence Above the ash where the fire went The smoke had turned to a thin grey thread I still felt warm beside you, Fred

  Chorus

  Fred, you're the fire I bank at night The last low coal that keeps me right No matter what the day has said You're still the warmth I come back to, Fred

  Verse 2

  Some loves are loud and some are quiet Mine's just steady, never a riot It's just this feeling, plain as bread Simple as your name, Fred

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the fire lit high Just need you standing close, that's why Every ember waits for you instead

  Chorus

  Fred, you're the fire I bank at night The last low coal that keeps me right No matter what the day has said You're still the warmth I come back to, Fred

  Bridge

  Years could pass or none at all You're the one I'd always call Through every season, still ahead You're the constant thing, Fred

  Chorus

  Fred, you're the fire I bank at night The last low coal that keeps me right No matter what the day has said You're still the warmth I come back to, Fred

  Outro

  The coats still hang above the ash You're the warmth that outlasts flash

• Crumbs on the Tin Plate

  Country waltz · Country · Waltz · Pedal steel

  A quiet country waltz about the small, ordinary moments that carry the most love: a plate left out, a phone put down, a name that still means home.

  Verse 1

  The phone clicks down beside the plate Crumbs left over from your bread I sit here in the quiet after Just glad to have you, Fred

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing fancy happened here tonight Just supper and a little talk But something in this small room settles When I hear your key in the lock

  Chorus

  Fred, you make the plain days worth it Fred, you turn a house into a home Not for what you say or promise Just for knowing you're not alone

  Verse 2

  I keep the tin plate on the shelf Long after supper's cleared away It holds the shape of every evening Where you sat and had your say

  Chorus

  Fred, you make the plain days worth it Fred, you turn a house into a home Not for what you say or promise Just for knowing you're not alone

  Bridge

  No speech was ever needed here Just your voice down the hall That's enough to hold me steady That's enough to say it all

  Chorus

  Fred, you make the plain days worth it Fred, you turn a house into a home Not for what you say or promise Just for knowing you're not alone

  Outro

  The plate sits empty on the table But this house still holds your name
