  Verse 1

  A green bench bolted to the floor We sat there, didn't need much more The water moved but we stayed still I felt you settle, felt the chill

  Pre-chorus

  Everything around us swayed You kept your hand right where it stayed And something in me let go and

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you're the calm I found The one thing bolted, safe and sound Jeremy, when the deck runs wild You make my whole world feel like mild

  Verse 2

  The rail was cold, the paint was thin You laughed and pulled me further in Gulls kept circling overhead I only heard the things you said

  Pre-chorus

  Everything around us swayed You kept your hand right where it stayed And something in me let go and

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you're the calm I found The one thing bolted, safe and sound Jeremy, when the deck runs wild You make my whole world feel like mild

  Bridge

  I don't need the sea to be kind Just need you steady, close, and mine No grand view, no perfect weather Just this bench, the two of us together

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you're the calm I found The one thing bolted, safe and sound Jeremy, when the deck runs wild You make my whole world feel like mild

  Outro

  The ferry docks, the engines cease Still bolted down, still bringing peace

  Verse 1

  Rain finds us on the narrow porch Both coats dripping on the stone I forget the cold when you're this close I'd rather stand here than alone

  Pre-chorus

  You shake the water from your sleeve Laugh like the whole sky missed its aim I could stand here till I believe

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you're the one I choose Every ordinary night No remedy for how I feel about you You make the small stuff feel like light

  Verse 2

  The step is narrow, so we crowd in close Your shoulder warm against my side I never needed grand or gold Just you, the porch light, and this quiet

  Bridge

  Some kind of chemistry, plain and true No drama needed, just this door Just wet coats and me and you I don't need anything more

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you're the one I choose Every ordinary night No remedy for how I feel about you You make the small stuff feel like light

  Outro

  Let the rain keep falling on the step I'll take this over any other place

  Verse 1

  I found your gate hung with rust Half swallowed up by the grass You told me it hadn't opened in years But you handed me the key with trust

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you let me through Nobody else ever knew There's a whole life behind that wall And Jeremy, you let me in too

  Verse 2

  I could have stayed on the road Never asked what the old wall hid You didn't have to swing that gate wide But Jeremy, you did

  Pre-chorus

  I felt the hinge give way Heard the iron finally speak And something in me leaned

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you let me through Nobody else ever knew There's a whole life behind that wall And Jeremy, you let me in too

  Bridge

  Some gates rust shut for good Some never learn to bend You could have left me standing there Instead you called me a friend

  Chorus

  Jeremy, you let me through Nobody else ever knew There's a whole life behind that wall And Jeremy, you let me in too

  Outro

  The gate still hangs where it always did But now it stays open for me
