  Verse 1

  Rain comes down and finds your shoulder Black fabric pulled up tight above I lean in close before you told her Wait, there's no one else, just love

  Pre-chorus

  I hear the drumming start to build Every drop is asking why You could shrug me off, but you're stilled Standing closer under grey sky

  Chorus

  Lyla, I would stand here all night long Rain can beat down, it won't be wrong Lyla, you're the reason I feel strong This is where I always belonged

  Verse 2

  Your shoulder presses into mine Thunder rolling far and low No map, no plan, no perfect sign Just this small space we chose to hold

  Chorus

  Lyla, I would stand here all night long Rain can beat down, it won't be wrong Lyla, you're the reason I feel strong This is where I always belonged

  Bridge

  Let the storm say what it wants We're not moving, we're not lost Every drop that falls and haunts Just proves you're worth the cost

  Chorus

  Lyla, I would stand here all night long Rain can beat down, it won't be wrong Lyla, you're the reason I feel strong This is where I always belonged

  Outro

  The fabric's soaked but we're still dry Under one umbrella, you and I

  Verse 1

  Two shoes on the sand, side by side No one told them to match the tide Mine keeps drifting, yours stays put You're the still one, I'm the foot

  Chorus

  Lyla, you're the calm I chose Steady where the current goes Every tide comes back to you Lyla, that's the truest thing I knew

  Verse 2

  Salt gets into everything we own Even how I say your name at home Water pulls at every mark we make But you're the one thing steady on this lake

  Pre-chorus

  I keep losing my footing on the way Every step gets swallowed by the spray But something in me always finds the shore

  Chorus

  Lyla, you're the calm I chose Steady where the current goes Every tide comes back to you Lyla, that's the truest thing I knew

  Bridge

  I don't need the sand to stay I just need you close, come what may Let the water take the rest away

  Chorus

  Lyla, you're the calm I chose Steady where the current goes Every tide comes back to you Lyla, that's the truest thing I knew

  Outro

  The tide will take our footprints soon But you're the one I'll still find at noon

  Verse 1

  Dashboard lights turn everything green Map folded up on the seat We don't need it, I already know Every road that leads to you, sweet

  Pre-chorus

  You keep talking, I keep driving Something steady fills the car Feels like we're just getting started

  Chorus

  Lyla, you're the reason I don't stop Lyla, you're the pull I can't deny Never had a compass like your name You're the only place I'm trying to arrive

  Verse 2

  Streetlights blink and then go quiet Radio's down to a hum You fall asleep against the window I keep driving where you're from

  Pre-chorus

  You keep talking, I keep driving Something steady fills the car Feels like we're just getting started

  Chorus

  Lyla, you're the reason I don't stop Lyla, you're the pull I can't deny Never had a compass like your name You're the only place I'm trying to arrive

  Bridge

  No map could ever hold this No line drawn could show it true I don't need directions anymore I just need the sight of you

  Chorus

  Lyla, you're the reason I don't stop Lyla, you're the pull I can't deny Never had a compass like your name You're the only place I'm trying to arrive

  Outro

  Dashboard's still glowing soft and green Still no map, still driving to you
