  Verse 1

  My tea's gone cold on the table again I forget it's there while I listen for you There's static humming soft on the line But your voice still comes through fine

  Pre-chorus

  Distance never learned how to win I keep the kettle on just in case Waiting for the moment you say

  Chorus

  Frederick, you're steady as bedrock Miles don't shift you, you don't stop Two mugs cooling, two rooms apart Still the warmest thing is your heart

  Verse 2

  You laugh and the crackle disappears I forget how many miles this is Your voice finds me through all the noise Nothing about this ever feels like choice

  Bridge

  Some loves need the same four walls Ours just needs a voice that calls I'd know you through a thousand wires Steady, plain, and never tired

  Chorus

  Frederick, you're steady as bedrock Miles don't shift you, you don't stop Two mugs cooling, two rooms apart Still the warmest thing is your heart

  Outro

  My tea's gone cold, I don't mind at all Your voice still keeps me warm through it all

  Verse 1

  Elbows brush past bags of crisps Music thumping through the wall Nobody else in the room exists You catch my eye and that's all

  Pre-chorus

  My heart forgets its normal pace Something steady starts to build Every noise fades except this space

  Chorus

  Frederick, you make it simple Standing here beside the sink Nothing fancy, nothing subtle Just you're the one I always pick

  Verse 2

  Kitchen full of noise and light Somebody's playlist far too loud Still you're the only thing in sight Calm right there inside the crowd

  Pre-chorus

  My heart forgets its normal pace Something steady starts to build Every noise fades except this space

  Chorus

  Frederick, you make it simple Standing here beside the sink Nothing fancy, nothing subtle Just you're the one I always pick

  Bridge

  No need for candles or for speeches Just your shoulder next to mine Love that lives in ordinary reaches Steady as a bedrock line

  Chorus

  Frederick, you make it simple Standing here beside the sink Nothing fancy, nothing subtle Just you're the one I always pick

  Outro

  Music's still thumping through that wall You're still the best part of it all

• Two Suitcases

  Soul waltz · Soul · Organ · Swaying

  A quiet soul waltz about waiting with someone at a departure board, where staying close matters more than where you are going. Good for new love, old love, or any love that has learned how to wait well.

  Verse 1

  I watch the board flick over names You keep your hand on mine instead Wherever this train takes us next I'd rather go than stay ahead

  Pre-chorus

  Every place I've been feels smaller Next to how you make me feel This platform's not the point at all

  Chorus

  Frederick, the clock can spin all night I'm not watching where it's led Two cases waiting on the mat And you're the only thing I've read

  Verse 2

  The letters click to some new town I couldn't tell you what it said You laughed at something small and true And that's the part that stayed in my head

  Bridge

  Let the trains all leave without us We've got nowhere better to be I'd sit here till the lights went dark If it meant more time with you near me

  Chorus

  Frederick, the clock can spin all night I'm not watching where it's led Two cases waiting on the mat And you're the only thing I've read

  Outro

  Let the board keep turning names We're not moving from this mat
