  Verse 1

  Candles burning low and slow Glasses catching all the glow Your hand brushes mine by chance Small moment, not romance

  Pre-chorus

  Nobody else would ever know What that little touch could show Something building, soft and true

  Chorus

  Jacob, it's the way you stay Never taken, never grey You and me past all this noise Jacob, you're my quiet choice

  Verse 2

  Years could pass or just one night Still you'd reach for what feels right Not the wine or what we ate Just the hand across the plate

  Pre-chorus

  Nobody else would ever know What that little touch could show Something building, soft and true

  Chorus

  Jacob, it's the way you stay Never taken, never grey You and me past all this noise Jacob, you're my quiet choice

  Bridge

  Let the loud loves have their say We don't need it, not that way One small reach across the space Says more than any face

  Chorus

  Jacob, it's the way you stay Never taken, never grey You and me past all this noise Jacob, you're my quiet choice

  Outro

  Long after the candles fade I'll still reach for what you made

  Verse 1

  You lean into the mirror half awake Foam sliding slow down white porcelain I watch you like you're something rare Water running on, and I'm just taken

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here was built to be watched No one's looking, but I still am I could stand here till the water's cold

  Chorus

  Jacob, you don't know I'm watching Half the reasons that I love you show In the parts you'd never think to guard In the quiet way you rinse and go

  Verse 2

  You wipe your mouth and catch my eye Ask me what I'm smiling for I say nothing, just come back to bed You laugh like you don't need the answer

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here was built to be watched No one's looking, but I still am I could stand here till the water's cold

  Chorus

  Jacob, you don't know I'm watching Half the reasons that I love you show In the parts you'd never think to guard In the quiet way you rinse and go

  Bridge

  It's never the big days that hold me It's this, the tap still running warm Some ordinary Tuesday I can't name That somehow does the same thing to me

  Chorus

  Jacob, you don't know I'm watching Half the reasons that I love you show In the parts you'd never think to guard In the quiet way you rinse and go

  Outro

  Turn the water off, come find me Bring the foam, the sleep, all of it

  Verse 1

  A crust of bread beside an apple just resting there on old grey wool nothing fancy, nothing golden that's how I keep you, Jacob, close and full

  Pre-chorus

  I never needed the grand or golden I just needed something steady and steady is the way you build a home

  Chorus

  Jacob, you're the calm inside my waking you're the hand that keeps me from being shaken you don't ask for more than what is true and that quiet love is never taken

  Verse 2

  Some folk want the bright and burning I just want you sitting near plain as bread beside an apple that's the kind of love I hold most dear

  Bridge

  No performance, no display just you, staying, day by day

  Chorus

  Jacob, you're the calm inside my waking you're the hand that keeps me from being shaken you don't ask for more than what is true and that quiet love is never taken

  Outro

  Still that bread, still that apple still you, Jacob, still enough
