  Verse 1

  Rain keeps drawing lines down the glass Streetlights blur to gold below You're half asleep against my shoulder Nowhere I would rather go

  Chorus

  Jonah, the window's fogging over Two floors down the whole world blurs I don't need it sharp or certain Long as what I'm holding's yours

  Verse 2

  Cars go sliding through the wet dark Their sound comes soft, then fades away You trace shapes into the fog there Write my name so it won't stay

  Pre-chorus

  I could name every small thing that I love But it comes down to one plain truth It's the quiet, and it's you

  Chorus

  Jonah, the window's fogging over Two floors down the whole world blurs I don't need it sharp or certain Long as what I'm holding's yours

  Bridge

  Let the glass stay clouded till morning Let the streets stay far and small None of it needs my attention You're the only clear thing at all

  Chorus

  Jonah, the window's fogging over Two floors down the whole world blurs I don't need it sharp or certain Long as what I'm holding's yours

  Outro

  The glass will clear by morning light But I'll still be right here, holding tight

  Verse 1

  I found two bolts out on the planks rusted through but holding still you hold me the same patient way against whatever comes, whatever will

  Pre-chorus

  Some things wear soft with weather some things only grow more true I know which kind you are to me and I keep coming back to

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the steady in my hands the thing that doesn't come undone not new, not shining, just still here Jonah, you and me, we're not done

  Verse 2

  Other things have come loose on me slipped away when the weather turned but you stayed fastened to the plank when everything around us burned

  Bridge

  I don't need you shining I just need you near the rust don't scare me, Jonah it means you're still here

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the steady in my hands the thing that doesn't come undone not new, not shining, just still here Jonah, you and me, we're not done

  Outro

  Let the planks go grey and bend I'll hold you like the iron holds

  Verse 1

  The room goes dark except for one glow Small and green and steady, soft and low It blinks the way your heartbeat runs Slow and sure until the morning comes

  Pre-chorus

  I count the blinks instead of sheep I'm halfway gone but can't quite sleep Something in me waiting to say

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the calm I didn't plan Jonah, steady like no other can You're the light that stays when all else dims I would know your shape from just its hint

  Verse 2

  You leave your shoes beside the door You hum a tune I've heard before Nothing about you needs to try so hard You're already further in than I'd marked

  Pre-chorus

  I count the blinks instead of sheep I'm halfway gone but can't quite sleep Something in me waiting to say

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the calm I didn't plan Jonah, steady like no other can You're the light that stays when all else dims I would know your shape from just its hint

  Bridge

  No grand gesture, no big display Just you, still here, another day That's the whole and simple truth of it

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the calm I didn't plan Jonah, steady like no other can You're the light that stays when all else dims I would know your shape from just its hint

  Outro

  That green light blinks the same tonight You're still the calm, you're still the light
