Songs for Jasmine

Verse 1

Green can sits by the chairs we folded Waiting there since we don't know when Nothing grows without somebody tending And you're the one we're counting on again

Pre-chorus

We've been saving up the candles Saving up the noise to make So let the whole room start to build now

Chorus

Jasmine, light the whole plot up tonight Nobody else could ever cast in Half the warmth you bring along We're glad the years have passed in

Verse 2

Every season something's asked in This one's yours, so lean on us Every plot needs somebody patient And you have never made a single fuss

Pre-chorus

We've been saving up the candles Saving up the noise to make So let the whole room start to build now

Chorus

Jasmine, light the whole plot up tonight Nobody else could ever cast in Half the warmth you bring along We're glad the years have passed in

Bridge

Whatever this year has been However far you've had to run Come sit down among your people Let us thank you, one by one

Chorus

Jasmine, light the whole plot up tonight Nobody else could ever cast in Half the warmth you bring along We're glad the years have passed in

Outro

Chairs unfold again tomorrow Still your name we're leaning in

Verse 1

You grabbed the map and tore it wide Threw out the plan and laughed with pride Nobody else could steer this way So we just held on for the ride

Pre-chorus

The engine hums a wild refrain We're chasing streetlights down the lane Something's building, feel it climb

Chorus

Jasmine, light the dashboard glow Two names rhyme with where we go Jasmine, turn the night up fast Nothing here is built to last

Verse 2

You never once looked at the map Just pointed on and closed the gap We trust you more than we trust roads You carry all our hopes and loads

Chorus

Jasmine, light the dashboard glow Two names rhyme with where we go Jasmine, turn the night up fast Nothing here is built to last

Bridge

Every mile we've loved you more Every year you break the door Wide open to whatever's next

Chorus

Jasmine, light the dashboard glow Two names rhyme with where we go Jasmine, turn the night up fast Nothing here is built to last

Outro

Fold the map, we're nearly there You're the reason we don't care

Verse 1

Packed in tight, going nowhere fast Rattling rail behind the door Somehow you make the journey last Better than the ones before

Pre-chorus

Every year you climb aboard Bring the noise and steal the show Something's building, can't be ignored

Chorus

Jasmine, light the whole back row Everybody feels it when you're here Jasmine, however fast we go You're the reason we all cheer

Verse 2

Strangers crammed from wall to wall Grip the rail and hold their nerve You're the one who lifts it all Turning ordinary into curve

Pre-chorus

Every year you climb aboard Bring the noise and steal the show Something's building, can't be ignored

Chorus

Jasmine, light the whole back row Everybody feels it when you're here Jasmine, however fast we go You're the reason we all cheer

Bridge

Hold on tight, we're turning fast Nobody wants this ride to end Whatever's next or whatever's past You're the one this room depends

Chorus

Jasmine, light the whole back row Everybody feels it when you're here Jasmine, however fast we go You're the reason we all cheer

Outro

Still that rail keeps humming on Glad we're riding with you, Jasmine

Verse 1

A blue bowl is resting by the quiet steel sink tonight nothing left inside it now, washed clean and set down soft every busy hour has folded itself away you are the calm that settles after all that light

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes, let the kitchen hush along with you every small sound is fading into gentle grey hold my hand while the dark comes drifting low

Chorus

Jasmine, the house breathes slow around your sleepy head nothing can follow you where soft dreams are spread stars are just lanterns that were quietly cast in you are the warmest thing this tired night has said

Verse 2

Somewhere a tap still drips its last and gentlest sound you curl up small beneath the blanket's heavy fold the whole wide day has finally learned to rest and you're the reason this house feels so safe and sound

Chorus

Jasmine, the house breathes slow around your sleepy head nothing can follow you where soft dreams are spread stars are just lanterns that were quietly cast in you are the warmest thing this tired night has said

Bridge

Sleep now, there is nothing left to carry or to hold only you, breathing soft, wrapped up in the dark's slow gold

Chorus

Jasmine, the house breathes slow around your sleepy head nothing can follow you where soft dreams are spread stars are just lanterns that were quietly cast in you are the warmest thing this tired night has said

Outro

The bowl still waits there empty, patient by the sink you are already drifting, already safe, already sinking

Verse 1

A tall brass lamp throws gold across the floor tonight and every board beneath it holds the softened light you're curled up warm inside that quiet yellow ring while all the house goes still and settles into sleeping

Pre-chorus

Your eyes are growing heavy, heavier each breath the whole wide room is folding into gentle rest and closer now, and closer, sleep is drawing near

Chorus

Jasmine, the light will keep on burning low for you hushed and steady, watching over all you do nothing in this house will fade before you're fast asleep Jasmine, I'll be near you, this quiet peace I'll keep

Verse 2

Somewhere past that circle, shadows learn to lie down too every corner softens, borrowing that glow from you nothing in the dark tonight has come to do you harm you are held and steady, you are safe here, you are warm

Bridge

Let the lamp burn low and steady while you drift away carry all its warmth inside you till the break of day

Chorus

Jasmine, the light will keep on burning low for you hushed and steady, watching over all you do nothing in this house will fade before you're fast asleep Jasmine, I'll be near you, this quiet peace I'll keep

Outro

Somewhere the brass lamp glows on, steady on the floor sleep now, you are held here, always, evermore

Verse 1

Look how the striped rug lies so still and flat tonight Right by the door where all the shadows go to rest You are the reason this whole house feels warm and right Sleepy and safe, you are the one I love the best

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the ceiling fade to grey Nothing can reach you past that door tonight Sleep is a boat and I will keep it steady till day

Chorus

Jasmine, my love, the dark cannot get past in Nothing will touch you, nothing will bring you harm Soft little breaths, and stillness settles fast in You're held so close, wrapped warm in my arm

Verse 2

Down on the floorboards, moonlight finds a quiet line Tracing the stripes like fingers, slow and kind You are the softest thing this whole night can define Rocking you gently, leaving the world behind

Bridge

Rest now, the house breathes slow around your bed Every small sound is only the night saying goodnight

Chorus

Jasmine, my love, the dark cannot get past in Nothing will touch you, nothing will bring you harm Soft little breaths, and stillness settles fast in You're held so close, wrapped warm in my arm

Outro

Sleep now, while the rug lies quiet by the door You are so loved, and you were loved before
