  Verse 1

  Frost sits hard on the fence wire the tyre's gone stiff and grey but you're the warm I still require when the whole world's turned away

  Chorus

  Hattie, you're the steady thing I know the one that holds when winter's long Hattie, wherever the cold winds blow you're the reason I stay strong

  Verse 2

  I feel the chill move through my coat and still I want to stay outside just to watch you laugh, to hear you gloat some warmth you cannot hide

  Pre-chorus

  I don't ask the frost to break I don't ask the sky to clear I just need you near

  Chorus

  Hattie, you're the steady thing I know the one that holds when winter's long Hattie, wherever the cold winds blow you're the reason I stay strong

  Bridge

  Some loves need the sun to prove they're real mine just needs your hand in mine you're the truest thing I feel standing here in this cold line

  Chorus

  Hattie, you're the steady thing I know the one that holds when winter's long Hattie, wherever the cold winds blow you're the reason I stay strong

  Outro

  The wire will hold its frost till spring but you're the warm I'm holding onto

  Verse 1

  I hear static on the line and still I know your voice you find me through the noise you always were my choice

  Pre-chorus

  Some things fade to grey and gone but you stay clear and true so I keep listening on

  Chorus

  Hattie, you're the sound I know under all the hum and hiss nobody else comes close Hattie, this is what I miss

  Verse 2

  The boards creak under both our feet you laugh at how they groan I'd know that laugh replete even if I stood alone

  Bridge

  Whatever wears, whatever stays you're the constant in my days

  Chorus

  Hattie, you're the sound I know under all the hum and hiss nobody else comes close Hattie, this is what I miss

  Outro

  Let the static keep on humming I'll still hear you coming

  Verse 1

  Two hands reached for the same glass Both of us too slow, too fast You laughed and let me win the round Best small thing I ever found

  Pre-chorus

  Now every counter feels too small Every room forgets the wall I keep reaching, come what may

  Chorus

  Hattie, you're the one I'm reaching for Every night I'm back here at your door Hattie, nothing catty, nothing plain Just your name again, again

  Verse 2

  The bar was loud, the light was low You knew me before I let you know We split the glass, we split the bill Somehow I'm still standing still

  Bridge

  Funny how a small thing stays Longer than the fancy days I don't need the grand and wide Just your hand there at my side

  Chorus

  Hattie, you're the one I'm reaching for Every night I'm back here at your door Hattie, nothing catty, nothing plain Just your name again, again

  Outro

  Two hands still reach for one same glass Still the best thing, first to last
