  Verse 1

  Trolley wheels squeak under sodium light You're still holding my hand too tight Wet ground shining like it's brand new Every plain night turns golden with you

  Pre-chorus

  I never needed the fancy part Just you humming something off by heart Something's building I can't slow down

  Chorus

  Hope, you're the calm I lean into Nothing about this love feels new You give me room, you give me scope Steady as an old, worn rope

  Verse 2

  Rain keeps falling on the empty car park Streetlights humming, holding back the dark You laugh at nothing, and I forget the cold This is how I know we'll never grow old

  Chorus

  Hope, you're the calm I lean into Nothing about this love feels new You give me room, you give me scope Steady as an old, worn rope

  Bridge

  I don't need the world to watch us shine Just your hand still finding mine No grand plans, no mountain slope Just this trolley, this light, this Hope

  Chorus

  Hope, you're the calm I lean into Nothing about this love feels new You give me room, you give me scope Steady as an old, worn rope

  Outro

  Wheels still turning on wet tarmac ground Hope, you're the best thing I found

  Verse 1

  Rain came down before we knew Nylon pulled tight against the sky You reached back and held on too That's the day I learned to try

  Pre-chorus

  I didn't plan on holding tight But something in you called me near Now I'm leaning towards the light

  Chorus

  Hope, you cover me over When the weather turns and bends You're the hand I keep to hold, Hope You're the storm that always ends

  Verse 2

  We've weathered more than one downpour Still you're steady where you stand Every time I doubt what's sure You just reach and take my hand

  Pre-chorus

  I didn't plan on holding tight But something in you called me near Now I'm leaning towards the light

  Chorus

  Hope, you cover me over When the weather turns and bends You're the hand I keep to hold, Hope You're the storm that always ends

  Bridge

  Let it pour, I won't let go Not while you are standing near Whatever comes, I'll always know You're the calm inside the year

  Chorus

  Hope, you cover me over When the weather turns and bends You're the hand I keep to hold, Hope You're the storm that always ends

  Outro

  Rain still falls some afternoons Still I reach, and still you're there

  Verse 1

  Waiting on a platform, late at night Yellow tiles glowing warm and slow Orange light was catching on the tracks And I thought of you, I don't know why though

  Pre-chorus

  Something in the glow made me still Made the noise around me disappear I keep finding reasons to believe

  Chorus

  Hope, you're the calm in every room You steady me, you always cope Nobody holds me half as close I said your name and felt like Hope

  Verse 2

  You don't need the lights to shine for you You bring your own where'er you go Every tunnel feels a little less like one When you're the warmth I'm walking toward

  Bridge

  I've counted all the ways you show me care Small and steady, never loud You're the kind of love that doesn't fade You're the one I'm always proud

  Chorus

  Hope, you're the calm in every room You steady me, you always cope Nobody holds me half as close I said your name and felt like Hope

  Outro

  Long after the train has gone That yellow light still glows for you
