Love Songs for Joseph

Verse 1

I found you in the smallest things Like how the morning always sings You lean on me before you speak And that's the love I choose all week

Chorus

Joseph, you're the calm I come home to Steady as the sunrise, that's the truth Joseph, hold my hand and never let go Two lives leaning slow, just like that, oh

Verse 2

You hum a tune while brushing your teeth I catch the sound and find relief No need for words to make it plain Your presence is my quiet gain

Pre-chorus

Some loves shout and some loves roar But ours just settles at the door It waits for me, it wants for more

Chorus

Joseph, you're the calm I come home to Steady as the sunrise, that's the truth Joseph, hold my hand and never let go Two lives leaning slow, just like that, oh

Bridge

No grand parade, no flashing light Just you and me, plain and right We don't need the world to see Just this quiet, you and me

Chorus

Joseph, you're the calm I come home to Steady as the sunrise, that's the truth Joseph, hold my hand and never let go Two lives leaning slow, just like that, oh

Outro

Two brushes leaning, close and true That's us, Joseph, me and you

Verse 1

The window's fogged from all this warmth We made too much heat for one small room Somewhere below the traffic hums on I wipe a circle, just to see you glow

Chorus

Joseph, you're the clearest thing I know Steady when the whole world moves so slow You settle in me like the last true note Joseph, you're the reason I stay low

Verse 2

Cities blur when I'm not looking straight Every light out there could be a stranger's home But you're the one thing I bring into focus I'd know your outline in the dark alone

Pre-chorus

Every glass goes cloudy in the end Every view gets lost in its own weather But something in me keeps reaching for the clear

Chorus

Joseph, you're the clearest thing I know Steady when the whole world moves so slow You settle in me like the last true note Joseph, you're the reason I stay low

Bridge

I don't need the skyline, don't need the show I just need your hand somewhere near mine Let the whole town blur and disappear You're the only shape I need to find

Chorus

Joseph, you're the clearest thing I know Steady when the whole world moves so slow You settle in me like the last true note Joseph, you're the reason I stay low

Outro

The glass will fog again tomorrow But I'll still find you underneath the glow

Verse 1

The floor was shining under all that light I sat there counting tiles You came around the corner tired And still you gave me a smile

Pre-chorus

I wasn't scared until that night Then you reached out for my hand And something in me settled

Chorus

Joseph, you're the calm in every storm Nobody holds me steady like you do I've said your name a thousand times And it still feels brand new

Verse 2

The vending machine hummed down the hall Coffee gone cold in my cup I watched you sleeping in that chair And knew I wouldn't give you up

Pre-chorus

I wasn't scared until that night Then you reached out for my hand And something in me settled

Chorus

Joseph, you're the calm in every storm Nobody holds me steady like you do I've said your name a thousand times And it still feels brand new

Bridge

Some loves are loud, some loves are slow Ours just quietly grew Through every hallway, every year I'd walk them all with you

Chorus

Joseph, you're the calm in every storm Nobody holds me steady like you do I've said your name a thousand times And it still feels brand new

Outro

The lights still hum, the floor still shines But now I'm home in you
