  Verse 1

  Two boots stood there on the step Wet concrete, the porch light on I heard you coming up the walk And something in me settled down

  Pre-chorus

  You shake the rain out of your hair Hang your coat behind the door And I forget what I was thinking

  Chorus

  Kinsley, you're the one I wait for Every evening, every noise outside Kinsley, nothing fancy, nothing loud Just you home safe, and I'm alright

  Verse 2

  We don't say much when you walk in Just the kettle, just the light But I could tell you from your footsteps Long before you're in my sight

  Pre-chorus

  You shake the rain out of your hair Hang your coat behind the door And I forget what I was thinking

  Chorus

  Kinsley, you're the one I wait for Every evening, every noise outside Kinsley, nothing fancy, nothing loud Just you home safe, and I'm alright

  Bridge

  Some days are ordinary, plain as this A door, a step, your name on my breath But I would know your walk in any crowd I'd know your boots among a hundred pairs

  Chorus

  Kinsley, you're the one I wait for Every evening, every noise outside Kinsley, nothing fancy, nothing loud Just you home safe, and I'm alright

  Outro

  Two boots resting by the door That's all I need to know you're home

• Climb to You

  Country waltz · Country · Waltz · Pedal steel

  A steady country waltz about the quiet courage it takes to keep reaching for someone, built from the image of a ladder leant against a wall of books.

  Verse 1

  I built this ladder plank by plank Leaning it high against the bank Of every book I thought I knew Then I looked up and found just you

  Pre-chorus

  Every rung I climbed alone Brought me closer to your door Now my hands won't let go

  Chorus

  Kinsley, you're the reason I climb Steady as a Sunday rhyme Height was never worth the fright Till you stood there in the light

  Verse 2

  You never asked me to be brave Just held the ladder while it swayed Your voice below kept me from falling Something in it felt like calling

  Pre-chorus

  Every rung I climbed alone Brought me closer to your door Now my hands won't let go

  Chorus

  Kinsley, you're the reason I climb Steady as a Sunday rhyme Height was never worth the fright Till you stood there in the light

  Bridge

  Books can teach you nothing true About the calm I find in you Every step's worth taking twice Just to land inside your eyes

  Chorus

  Kinsley, you're the reason I climb Steady as a Sunday rhyme Height was never worth the fright Till you stood there in the light

  Outro

  I'll leave the ladder where it stands Since I've got you instead of plans

  Verse 1

  Engine off, windows going grey You're still talking, I forgot the time Steam giving up on the dashboard I'd sit here past midnight, no crime

  Pre-chorus

  Nowhere I'm needed more than this seat Nothing I'd trade for your voice Stay a while longer, don't move

  Chorus

  Kinsley, the tea's gone cold and I don't care Every road runs quiet back to you Kinsley, this is the whole of my day Whatever you're saying, I want it too

  Verse 2

  You laugh and the windscreen fogs up more I wipe it clear just to see your face Somebody's calling, we don't answer We're not in any kind of race

  Bridge

  Let the mugs sit there and turn to nothing Let the whole town drive on past I've got what I came here looking for I'm not letting go of it fast

  Chorus

  Kinsley, the tea's gone cold and I don't care Every road runs quiet back to you Kinsley, this is the whole of my day Whatever you're saying, I want it too

  Outro

  Steam's long gone from the dashboard now Still warm right here, next to you
