  Verse 1

  Two boots left beside the bench dripping slow onto the stone you shake the wet from your sleeve nothing here could feel like a wrench

  Pre-chorus

  I watch you laugh at the weather and something in me settles down this is the part I was made for

  Chorus

  Gemma, you make the grey worth having the storm outside stops mattering you're the warm I keep returning to Gemma, this is no dilemma

  Verse 2

  You peel your socks off, laughing hard water pooling round your feet I hand you the towel I brought this is the whole of my regard

  Bridge

  No thunder ever scared me half as much as losing this small joy just you, dripping, out of breath under a roof that barely holds

  Chorus

  Gemma, you make the grey worth having the storm outside stops mattering you're the warm I keep returning to Gemma, this is no dilemma

  Outro

  Two boots still drying by the door and I would wait through any storm

  Verse 1

  Paper map spread on the dash Heater humming, low and warm You trace the roads with a steady hand I would follow wherever you land

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need to know the way Long as you're the one who stays Something's building, I can't hold it in

  Chorus

  Gemma, you're the reason I don't mind being lost Every mile with you is worth the cost Gemma, you're the fire when the night turns cold Simple kind of love, the kind that holds

  Verse 2

  Windows fogging, engine low Somewhere quiet, nowhere to go You fold the map but keep your thumb on home Wherever you are, I'm never alone

  Chorus

  Gemma, you're the reason I don't mind being lost Every mile with you is worth the cost Gemma, you're the fire when the night turns cold Simple kind of love, the kind that holds

  Bridge

  No dilemma, no doubt in my mind You're the constant I was made to find Every crease in the map leads back to you

  Chorus

  Gemma, you're the reason I don't mind being lost Every mile with you is worth the cost Gemma, you're the fire when the night turns cold Simple kind of love, the kind that holds

  Outro

  Fold the map, let the engine rest You were always the road I loved best

  Verse 1

  An empty bottle on the step catching all the morning light I kept it there on purpose just to hold your fingerprint tight

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need much to feel it just a small thing you have touched it's building up inside me now

  Chorus

  Gemma, you're the calm I trust not a fire, just a glow Gemma, steady through the dust you're the one thing I still know

  Verse 2

  Some nights the glass just catches streetlight and I think of how you stay you don't need to say much to me you just make the noise go away

  Chorus

  Gemma, you're the calm I trust not a fire, just a glow Gemma, steady through the dust you're the one thing I still know

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand gestures just you, sitting close to me that bottle's stayed there through three winters the way you've stayed, patiently

  Chorus

  Gemma, you're the calm I trust not a fire, just a glow Gemma, steady through the dust you're the one thing I still know

  Outro

  That bottle's still there on the step and so, somehow, are you
