  Verse 1

  Moss grows slow between the planks holding on when the grey wave thanks nothing, just keeps coming in and still you're here when the light is gone

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched the water change its mind I've watched the weather lose its shine but you don't move, you just stay on

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the one thing standing still the calm I trust, the steady will something in you I lean upon Jon, my feet are planted where you are

  Verse 2

  The dock creaks but it holds its ground you speak soft but the words stay sound nothing fancy, nothing drawn just true, the way good wood is true

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the one thing standing still the calm I trust, the steady will something in you I lean upon Jon, my feet are planted where you are

  Bridge

  Let the waves keep taking their turn I'm not moved by what they churn you're the ground I keep coming back to every single time, no question drawn

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the one thing standing still the calm I trust, the steady will something in you I lean upon Jon, my feet are planted where you are

  Outro

  The moss still holds between the planks and I still hold you, no question asked

  Verse 1

  Wet leaves stuck to the red stone path Under trees with nothing left to give I watched you step around the mess And thought, that's how you always live

  Pre-chorus

  You never ask the world for much Just steady ground and time to walk So let me give you both of those

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the calm I didn't plan for Something sure in all this weather Jon, I'd walk this path forever If it meant we stayed together

  Verse 2

  The branches empty out each autumn Then fill up green again each spring You've seen me through my own bare seasons Stayed close through everything

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the calm I didn't plan for Something sure in all this weather Jon, I'd walk this path forever If it meant we stayed together

  Bridge

  No grand words, no perfect timing Just your hand and mine that fit This isn't loud, but it is lasting And I am grateful for all of it

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the calm I didn't plan for Something sure in all this weather Jon, I'd walk this path forever If it meant we stayed together

  Outro

  The leaves will turn again next autumn And I'll still want you on this path

  Verse 1

  Boxes stacked along the floor Names on labels, nothing more Then I found one worn and true Every crate led back to you

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the song I chose Jon, the one that always grows Play me slow or play me on I'll still want you, only Jon

  Verse 2

  Dust on sleeves and faded ink Old aisles narrow as I think Still I'd search through every one Just to land on you again, Jon

  Pre-chorus

  Every cover starts to blur All these names I don't prefer Then the needle finds the one

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the song I chose Jon, the one that always grows Play me slow or play me on I'll still want you, only Jon

  Bridge

  No lucky find, no chance at all I knew your name before I'd call Some things you don't just stumble on

  Chorus

  Jon, you're the song I chose Jon, the one that always grows Play me slow or play me on I'll still want you, only Jon

  Outro

  Boxes packed, the search is done You're the one I kept, Jon
