  Verse 1

  You hand me the cup that's warmer Keep the thinner one for yourself Nobody else does that for me I notice, and I love you longer

  Pre-chorus

  The tea goes cold before we're done We talk until the light is gone We're still here, still leaning in

  Chorus

  Marion, you make the waiting easy Nothing about this feels uneasy Steady as a hand on mine Marion, you're the one I'm choosing

  Verse 2

  The floor is cold beneath our shoes You laugh and I forget the hour Some rooms are only rooms Until you're standing in them too

  Bridge

  I don't need the perfect setting Just this bench, and you not leaving Every plain thing turns to more

  Chorus

  Marion, you make the waiting easy Nothing about this feels uneasy Steady as a hand on mine Marion, you're the one I'm choosing

  Outro

  Two cups gone cold on the floor Still the warmest I've felt, waiting

  Verse 1

  You left two books leaning on each other Dust between them, drifting slow I found them when I missed you And I couldn't put them back, you know

  Pre-chorus

  Some things you never move again You let them sit and gather years I keep the quiet where you touched it

  Chorus

  Marion, you're the calm I lean on Steady as the low light falls Every corner holds you somewhere Marion, you're the best of all

  Verse 2

  You said love wasn't loud or sudden It was just deciding to stay I believed you when you said it And I believe it more today

  Bridge

  No grand thing ever proved it Just the same room, chosen twice You made ordinary feel like shelter You made waiting feel alright

  Chorus

  Marion, you're the calm I lean on Steady as the low light falls Every corner holds you somewhere Marion, you're the best of all

  Outro

  Those two books are still leaning Still holding what we never moved

  Verse 1

  Vinegar bottles rattle on the counter The brown bag tears before we're home You laugh like nothing here could bother And somehow I don't feel alone

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this night was planned Groceries spilling from my hand Still I would not have it any other way

  Chorus

  Marion, you make the mess feel right Every little thing tastes better with you near Marion, you're steady in my sight Say my troubles and you make them disappear

  Verse 2

  We never needed candles lit to know it Just the kitchen light and your worn shoes Some folks chase the grand and never show it We've got something simple I won't lose

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this night was planned Groceries spilling from my hand Still I would not have it any other way

  Chorus

  Marion, you make the mess feel right Every little thing tastes better with you near Marion, you're steady in my sight Say my troubles and you make them disappear

  Bridge

  Long as you're carrying the weight beside me Long as your hand keeps finding mine I don't need the world to decide me Just this kitchen, just this time

  Chorus

  Marion, you make the mess feel right Every little thing tastes better with you near Marion, you're steady in my sight Say my troubles and you make them disappear

  Outro

  Let the bottles rattle, let the paper tear I'll still choose this over anywhere
