Songs for Jimmy

Verse 1

A cracked fork on a napkin folded twice beside your hand nothing here was ever fancy but somehow I understand

Chorus

Jimmy, you make the small things hold you turn a thermos lid to gold every plain thing turns to treasure every moment feels like more

Verse 2

You never asked for candles never needed silver spoons just this bench and this napkin just the middle of the noon

Pre-chorus

I could list a hundred wonders but they'd never say it right so I'll just say your name again

Chorus

Jimmy, you make the small things hold you turn a thermos lid to gold every plain thing turns to treasure every moment feels like more

Bridge

No fireworks, no grand design just a fork you left for mine that's the proof I keep returning

Chorus

Jimmy, you make the small things hold you turn a thermos lid to gold every plain thing turns to treasure every moment feels like more

Outro

The napkin's folded, put away but I still feel you here today

Verse 1

Mittens laid flat on the frost Nothing about you gets lost Every cold morning you stay You warm the whole day

Chorus

Jimmy, you're the warmth I found Jimmy, steady on the ground Two hands laid open, honest and true Nobody loves like I love you

Verse 2

Grass stiff and white at your feet Still you make cold mornings sweet You never made me beg or guess You just showed up, nothing less

Pre-chorus

I've counted all the ways you stay Simple as frost, plain as day And still my heart has more to say

Chorus

Jimmy, you're the warmth I found Jimmy, steady on the ground Two hands laid open, honest and true Nobody loves like I love you

Bridge

No need for fire, no need for flame Just you saying my name Quiet love is still love, still strong This is where I belong

Chorus

Jimmy, you're the warmth I found Jimmy, steady on the ground Two hands laid open, honest and true Nobody loves like I love you

Outro

Frost melts slow but mittens stay warm So do you, through every storm

Verse 1

Rain finds the gutter, rusted through drips down slow onto the pots below nothing hurries where it's going and that's the thing I love in you

Pre-chorus

I've watched you move like that all along never rushing, never wrong something in me leans toward the sound

Chorus

Jimmy, you're the steady kind the kind of calm I didn't plan to find you don't shimmy through a room to be seen Jimmy, you just stay, and that's enough for me

Verse 2

Some nights I hear the water still dripping soft on old terra cotta I think of how you hold a silence like it's something you can fill

Bridge

I don't need the sky to shift I just need this steady drip you, still here, no grand gift just your hand in mine, unhurried, close

Chorus

Jimmy, you're the steady kind the kind of calm I didn't plan to find you don't shimmy through a room to be seen Jimmy, you just stay, and that's enough for me

Outro

Let the rain keep finding old clay pots Jimmy, I'll keep finding you

Verse 1

Streetlamps are sweeping their light across the seat where you should be Grey fabric glowing soft as the buckle waits for only you and me Nobody else needs this small warm space tonight So close your eyes and let the whole wide world go quiet, Jimmy

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the light is moving slow and gentle overhead Nothing can reach you here, tucked safely into bed Let the hum of night carry you down, down, down

Chorus

Jimmy, my Jimmy, the night has room for you Every soft shadow was made to see you through Rest here, there's nothing you need to do Sleep now, Jimmy, the whole dark sky loves you

Verse 2

Somewhere a lamp keeps its slow watch over an empty little chair Waiting the way that I wait, just to know that you are there Nothing is missing while you're curled up warm like this Stay right here where the quiet wraps around you, Jimmy

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the light is moving slow and gentle overhead Nothing can reach you here, tucked safely into bed Let the hum of night carry you down, down, down

Chorus

Jimmy, my Jimmy, the night has room for you Every soft shadow was made to see you through Rest here, there's nothing you need to do Sleep now, Jimmy, the whole dark sky loves you

Bridge

Even the light that moves on without stopping still circles back to you Held in the hush, you are the warmest thing this whole night knew

Chorus

Jimmy, my Jimmy, the night has room for you Every soft shadow was made to see you through Rest here, there's nothing you need to do Sleep now, Jimmy, the whole dark sky loves you

Outro

The lamp will keep sweeping soft over the seat till morning comes But you are already home, my Jimmy, safe where you belong

Verse 1

You watched the window fog beneath a small warm hand tonight held safe against the cold that never touched your light a trace of silver water sliding soft and slow the whole wide world kept gentle just for you to know

Chorus

Jimmy, Jimmy, close your eyes and let the night come in the day is folded up now, soft beneath your chin nothing far away tonight can reach you where you lay gimme just one small breath and drift the dark away

Verse 2

Someone carried something home and held it near your chest warmth against the winter while the streets all fell to rest you traced a line of quiet down the misted pane and every little worry simply melted in the rain

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the evening settle soft around your bed every little sound tonight is only in your head so let your small hand open and let go instead

Chorus

Jimmy, Jimmy, close your eyes and let the night come in the day is folded up now, soft beneath your chin nothing far away tonight can reach you where you lay gimme just one small breath and drift the dark away

Bridge

Kimmy could not love you softer than the night does now you are held, you are held, however dark it grows

Chorus

Jimmy, Jimmy, close your eyes and let the night come in the day is folded up now, soft beneath your chin nothing far away tonight can reach you where you lay gimme just one small breath and drift the dark away

Outro

The glass has cleared and left a warmth still on the sill you are carried gently home, and safe, and still

Verse 1

A drop slides slowly down the cold glass by your bed warm air is holding back the winter from your skin you don't need to know how far that small drop has spread the whole night waits outside but cannot reach you in

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the pipes keep humming low and slow feel how the warmth stays close no matter how it snows sleep is only waiting for you just to let go

Chorus

Jimmy, my heart beats soft and steady just for you nothing in this whole world could ever dim me now rest here where the light is low and skies are blue Jimmy, close your eyes, I'll hold this moment somehow

Verse 2

one small drop is trembling but it never has to fall alone gravity is gentle when the glass is warm enough you are wrapped in something softer than you've ever known held here safe from every distant, colder thing and stuff

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the pipes keep humming low and slow feel how the warmth stays close no matter how it snows sleep is only waiting for you just to let go

Chorus

Jimmy, my heart beats soft and steady just for you nothing in this whole world could ever dim me now rest here where the light is low and skies are blue Jimmy, close your eyes, I'll hold this moment somehow

Bridge

Let the frost stay outside where it belongs you were always meant for warmth, for quiet, gentle songs

Chorus

Jimmy, my heart beats soft and steady just for you nothing in this whole world could ever dim me now rest here where the light is low and skies are blue Jimmy, close your eyes, I'll hold this moment somehow

Outro

That one drop has settled soft and still upon the sill sleep now, Jimmy, warm and safe, however the night may spill
