  Verse 1

  I found you on the coldest shelf Right next to all the soup tins You rolled until you touched my side That's how our whole thing begins

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the warmth I keep Even when the metal's cold Something in the way we lean Josiah, never gets old

  Verse 2

  We don't need the fancy aisle No ribbon and no wrapping Just the quiet way you stay When the whole world keeps snapping

  Pre-chorus

  I've stopped waiting for the shine Some things just sit close and hold So when you roll, I roll too

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the warmth I keep Even when the metal's cold Something in the way we lean Josiah, never gets old

  Bridge

  Not every love needs a spark Some just settle, steady, near This is mine, plain and small And it's you I want right here

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the warmth I keep Even when the metal's cold Something in the way we lean Josiah, never gets old

  Outro

  Two cold apples, still we found Our own kind of warm, staying round

  A quiet bossa nova love song about steady devotion, built from the small ritual of reading a map together while the wipers keep time.

  Verse 1

  The map is folded on my knees You trace the roads like you know keys Rain keeps time on the glass I love the quiet way you please

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the road I chose Every mile the feeling grows Nothing here is left to chance Josiah, that's the thing love knows

  Verse 2

  You fold the corners down just so Wipers click on soft and slow We are not lost at all There's a calm in how you go

  Pre-chorus

  I watch your hand upon the crease Steady in the smallest piece And the feeling starts to climb

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the road I chose Every mile the feeling grows Nothing here is left to chance Josiah, that's the thing love knows

  Bridge

  Let the rain keep falling down We don't need to reach the town I would ride this out with you However far the roads go round

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the road I chose Every mile the feeling grows Nothing here is left to chance Josiah, that's the thing love knows

  Outro

  Fold the map, the rain has eased You're the road I've always needed

• Ash and Fire

  Dream pop · Reverb · Hazy

  A quiet love song built from a fire burning low, for anyone who steadies you the way a low flame does: new love, old love, or something still finding its name.

  Verse 1

  The last skin curls to black smoke goes thin, then trails off track I sit here watching embers fall and think of how you hold it all

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing left but grey and glow but I keep wanting more to know how you turn low light into

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the coal still burning under ash, still slowly turning Josiah, quiet as the fire you're the warmth I still desire

  Verse 2

  Wire grate above the ground holds the heat without a sound I could sit here half the night just to watch you catch the light

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing left but grey and glow but I keep wanting more to know how you turn low light into

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the coal still burning under ash, still slowly turning Josiah, quiet as the fire you're the warmth I still desire

  Bridge

  Some loves flare and fade by morning yours keeps low, no warning steady as the embers glow that's the only way I know

  Chorus

  Josiah, you're the coal still burning under ash, still slowly turning Josiah, quiet as the fire you're the warmth I still desire

  Outro

  Long after the last flame dies you're the heat that never lies
