  Verse 1

  Fingers walk the cardboard sleeves Under a sign that hums in blue I could stand here for hours Just to watch what you do

  Pre-chorus

  You hold each one like it matters Like the world could wait its turn This is how you love things This is how I learn

  Chorus

  Lisa, you make the slow hours kind Nothing about you is ever routine Every quiet thing you find Turns into something worth seeing

  Verse 2

  You never rush the finding You let the good things stay lost a while I watch you read the labels And somehow it makes me smile

  Bridge

  Maybe it's new, maybe it's years Maybe it's neither, just steady and true Whatever this is called I only know I chose you

  Chorus

  Lisa, you make the slow hours kind Nothing about you is ever routine Every quiet thing you find Turns into something worth seeing

  Outro

  Still tracing sleeves under that blue light Still glad I get to call you mine

  Verse 1

  Morning drips slow off the leaves Water finds its way with ease I stand here holding an empty can Waiting on you like the plants do, love

  Pre-chorus

  I keep coming back to this same place Something in the quiet fits your face And my heart starts reaching, slow but sure

  Chorus

  Lisa, you're the calm I lean on Steady as the light at dawn Nobody holds me quite like you Lisa, this love stays true

  Verse 2

  Gravel holds the damp all day Nothing here just fades away You water what you love and wait That's how you've loved me, patient, straight

  Pre-chorus

  I keep coming back to this same place Something in the quiet fits your face And my heart starts reaching, slow but sure

  Chorus

  Lisa, you're the calm I lean on Steady as the light at dawn Nobody holds me quite like you Lisa, this love stays true

  Bridge

  No grand gesture, just this instead Just your hand and a garden bed Whatever grows here, grows because you stayed

  Chorus

  Lisa, you're the calm I lean on Steady as the light at dawn Nobody holds me quite like you Lisa, this love stays true

  Outro

  Still the water finds the ground Still I'm glad that you're around

  Verse 1

  I hear the bottles knock before the light and know that you are somewhere near the door the moth turns circles round the porch lamp still and I am glad you're close tonight

  Pre-chorus

  Every small sound waits for you before the day has learned your name I lie here listening for one thing more

  Chorus

  Lisa, it's the quiet hours I love you best when the whole street's asleep but us no grand words, no big scenes to raise just you, still here, and me, no less

  Verse 2

  The glass rings out against the step a small bell nobody else would hear but I know it means you're near and something in my chest lets go

  Bridge

  I've loved you loud and loved you plain through easy years and harder weather this porch light's seen us both again still choosing to come home together

  Chorus

  Lisa, it's the quiet hours I love you best when the whole street's asleep but us no grand words, no big scenes to raise just you, still here, and me, no less

  Outro

  The bottles knock, the moth still turns and I'm still glad it's you I love
