  Verse 1

  Water on the step behind me Cold gone from my hands You pulled the door open wide Before I even had to ask

  Chorus

  Ivy, you're the light in the hall Warm before I'm even through Every storm I've walked away from Led me somewhere close to you

  Verse 2

  Other doors stayed shut for good reason Other rooms felt cold and small You never made me knock twice Never made me wait at all

  Pre-chorus

  Nobody taught me how to trust a room But you made it easy to believe So hold the door, don't let it close

  Chorus

  Ivy, you're the light in the hall Warm before I'm even through Every storm I've walked away from Led me somewhere close to you

  Bridge

  I stopped checking the weather The second I found you Rain can keep on falling I've got somewhere to go

  Chorus

  Ivy, you're the light in the hall Warm before I'm even through Every storm I've walked away from Led me somewhere close to you

  Outro

  Still hear the rain against the window But I'm already home with you

  Verse 1

  The kettle clicks off behind us Cold air finds where your coat missed You pass the mug without asking I take it, and that's the whole ask

  Pre-chorus

  I could sit here till the light goes No need to fill up the quiet This is the part I keep coming back for

  Chorus

  Ivy, you make the small hours count Nothing fancy, just this amount Ivy, I'd choose this step each time Your name still lands soft as a rhyme

  Verse 2

  The garden's gone to weeds and shadow You laugh about the state of it I watch you more than what you're pointing at There's nowhere else I'd rather sit

  Pre-chorus

  I could sit here till the light goes No need to fill up the quiet This is the part I keep coming back for

  Chorus

  Ivy, you make the small hours count Nothing fancy, just this amount Ivy, I'd choose this step each time Your name still lands soft as a rhyme

  Bridge

  No grand plans, no big reveal Just you, close enough to feel This is how I know it's true

  Chorus

  Ivy, you make the small hours count Nothing fancy, just this amount Ivy, I'd choose this step each time Your name still lands soft as a rhyme

  Outro

  The kettle's long gone cold now Still, I'm glad you're here somehow

  Verse 1

  Streetlights are closing one by one Footsteps slow down when we're done talking You take the long way round on purpose I never ask why, I just come

  Pre-chorus

  Cold air, but your hand stays warm Nobody's out but the both of us Say the word and we'll keep walking

  Chorus

  Ivy, the dark doesn't scare me now Something in the quiet feels like a vow Every street looks softer with you beside me Ivy, I'd walk this way somehow

  Verse 2

  You hum something I don't know the name of Your coat's too thin but you won't say I count the doors until we're home Slower than I need to, every day

  Bridge

  Whatever waits behind that door can wait We're not in a hurry, we never were This is the part I don't rush through This is the part I'd choose to repeat

  Chorus

  Ivy, the dark doesn't scare me now Something in the quiet feels like a vow Every street looks softer with you beside me Ivy, I'd walk this way somehow

  Outro

  The lights go out behind us one by one Still your hand is the warmest thing I've held
