  Verse 1

  Reaching for the tins of tomatoes Your hand found mine on the shelf Nothing planned, nothing spoken I forgot I was somebody else

  Pre-chorus

  That's how it goes when you're near No warning, no build to it Just suddenly clear

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, I wasn't looking for this A touch by the tins, small and slim Every ordinary thing turns to bliss When my fingers find yours, Ibrahim

  Verse 2

  We still laugh about that shelf How the whole aisle disappeared You said you'd remember it too Long after the tins are cleared

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, I wasn't looking for this A touch by the tins, small and slim Every ordinary thing turns to bliss When my fingers find yours, Ibrahim

  Bridge

  Doesn't matter where we stand A kitchen, a queue, a quiet room I'll take your hand

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, I wasn't looking for this A touch by the tins, small and slim Every ordinary thing turns to bliss When my fingers find yours, Ibrahim

  Outro

  Somewhere a shelf still holds those tins And I'm still glad you reached for me

  Verse 1

  Your boots pressed through the tall grass slow Left a trail for me to trace Every seed head bent and low You made a path across that place

  Pre-chorus

  Nobody walks a field like you Steady, sure of where they're bound And I keep following the view Waiting for the name to sound

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, you're the one I choose Quiet as the morning light Ibrahim, there's nothing I could lose Standing here with you in sight

  Verse 2

  Some hearts move loud, some hearts move fast You just walk and let it be Nothing about you needs to last To still mean everything to me

  Bridge

  We don't need the field to bloom Don't need proof of what we've grown Just the space you leave the room And how it never feels alone

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, you're the one I choose Quiet as the morning light Ibrahim, there's nothing I could lose Standing here with you in sight

  Outro

  The grass will lift where you have been Still, I'll know that you walked through

  Verse 1

  I left a sock out on the ledge dangling loose above the edge forgot it there in yesterday's rush but you went back for it, no fuss

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, you notice what I drop you're the one who says don't stop Ibrahim, you carry what I lose it's you I never fear to choose

  Verse 2

  Grey gravel underneath my feet nothing soft, nothing neat but you make the hard ground kind you're the calm I didn't know to find

  Pre-chorus

  I don't ask for much at all just a hand when things might fall just you, closer than before

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, you notice what I drop you're the one who says don't stop Ibrahim, you carry what I lose it's you I never fear to choose

  Bridge

  Some loves shout, some loves hide yours just stays here by my side small and steady, plain and true that's the kind I get with you

  Chorus

  Ibrahim, you notice what I drop you're the one who says don't stop Ibrahim, you carry what I lose it's you I never fear to choose

  Outro

  That sock still hangs there, half off the ledge but I'm not scared of any edge
