Songs for Judah

Verse 1

Trolleys scrape under sodium light Nothing about this night is grand But you're laughing at the noise And I'm glad to hold your hand

Chorus

Judah, you make the plain things shine Every ordinary scene turns gold Nothing about this love is old Judah, you're still the best thing I've known

Verse 2

We push these carts through empty rows Fluorescent hum and closing time You hum some tune I can't quite place And somehow it still feels sublime

Pre-chorus

I don't need candles or the sea Just this car park, just this you Just this feeling climbing higher

Chorus

Judah, you make the plain things shine Every ordinary scene turns gold Nothing about this love is old Judah, you're still the best thing I've known

Bridge

Some nights it's quiet, some nights it's loud Either way I'd choose you now No stage, no lights, no crowd

Chorus

Judah, you make the plain things shine Every ordinary scene turns gold Nothing about this love is old Judah, you're still the best thing I've known

Outro

Trolleys scraping, cold and bright Still the best sound of my life

Verse 1

Rain came sideways through the porch Sirens screamed like a torch Your sleeve pressed soft against mine We didn't move, didn't mind

Pre-chorus

The noise outside kept climbing high But nothing in me wanted to fly I just wanted to stay right here

Chorus

Judah, you're the calm in the storm The one place I run to stay warm Sirens can wail, let them go You're the one thing I need to know

Verse 2

Brick walls held the sound at bay You looked at me and the world drained away Water dripped from your hair to the floor I loved you more with every roar

Pre-chorus

The noise outside kept climbing high But nothing in me wanted to fly I just wanted to stay right here

Chorus

Judah, you're the calm in the storm The one place I run to stay warm Sirens can wail, let them go You're the one thing I need to know

Bridge

Let every siren sing its song I'll stand here with you all along No need for shelter, no need to hide You're the calm I feel inside

Chorus

Judah, you're the calm in the storm The one place I run to stay warm Sirens can wail, let them go You're the one thing I need to know

Outro

The porch is empty, the rain has stopped Your sleeve still warm where it dropped

Verse 1

You count the coins in the cupholder Like they might mean something more I watch your hands in that orange light You make the whole car feel warmer

Pre-chorus

I never need the radio on Just the sound of you breathing slow Something in me starts leaning in

Chorus

Judah, you're the calm in every mile There's no version of this I'd trade Doesn't matter if we're lost or home Judah, you're the best part of my day

Verse 2

You leave the window cracked an inch Like you're letting the quiet in too I forget where we're even going When I'm just sitting here with you

Pre-chorus

I never need the radio on Just the sound of you breathing slow Something in me starts leaning in

Chorus

Judah, you're the calm in every mile There's no version of this I'd trade Doesn't matter if we're lost or home Judah, you're the best part of my day

Bridge

No map could get me here faster No song says it better than this You, the light, and the hush between us This is the only place I want to be

Chorus

Judah, you're the calm in every mile There's no version of this I'd trade Doesn't matter if we're lost or home Judah, you're the best part of my day

Outro

Some change still rattles in the cupholder I'd keep driving just to stay this close
