  Verse 1

  Yellow light on the wet road home Long shadows where we always roam I know your walk before you're near Something in me settles clear

  Pre-chorus

  I count the lampposts one by one Waiting on you till the walking's done And my heart starts running toward the sun

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the warmth I lean on Steady as a light past midnight, gone till dawn You and heaven feel about the same Something holy in your name

  Verse 2

  Rain comes down but I don't mind Every puddle holds your kind of shine You make the ordinary glow You're the best thing I get to know

  Bridge

  No grand words, just this simple truth I found something steady since my youth Every street looks kinder with you near You're the calm behind the noise I hear

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the warmth I lean on Steady as a light past midnight, gone till dawn You and heaven feel about the same Something holy in your name

  Outro

  Long after the streetlights fade to grey You're the light I'm walking home to, every day

  Verse 1

  Steam rises off two paper cups noise all around us, loud and thin but you just look at me and laugh and the whole room settles in

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the calm in the noise every time you're near, I unclench Kevin, you make the ordinary feel like it's worth every inch

  Verse 2

  Your hands wrap warm around the cup mine still cold from the walk outside you pass it over without a word that's the kind of love I can't hide

  Pre-chorus

  I've stopped watching the door for better stopped counting what I might have missed because when you laugh like that at nothing

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the calm in the noise every time you're near, I unclench Kevin, you make the ordinary feel like it's worth every inch

  Bridge

  I don't need the room to go quiet just need you laughing next to me that sound does something to my chest it's the only peace I need to see

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the calm in the noise every time you're near, I unclench Kevin, you make the ordinary feel like it's worth every inch

  Outro

  The cups go cold, the laughing fades but you're still warm here in my hands

  Verse 1

  I walked the shore before you woke Just to bring the morning home You'd have loved the pale grey light Some things are better shared, not shown

  Pre-chorus

  I picked the smallest stone I found Held it till it warmed my hand There's a kind of love that doesn't sound

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the calm after the tide You're the steady I lean on Every gleam I've ever found Was you, Kevin, since the start, not gone

  Verse 2

  You never needed the loud kind of love The kind that burns and disappears What you gave me was slower, sure Worth more than shine, worth all these years

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the calm after the tide You're the steady I lean on Every gleam I've ever found Was you, Kevin, since the start, not gone

  Bridge

  Let the water keep on turning stones I'm not asking for the world Just this shore, and you, alone

  Chorus

  Kevin, you're the calm after the tide You're the steady I lean on Every gleam I've ever found Was you, Kevin, since the start, not gone

  Outro

  I'll bring that stone in from the shore Keep it close, the way I keep you near
