  Verse 1

  The basket tipped and everything spilled Frozen peas rolled clean across the tile You just laughed and knelt right down I loved you more in that small while

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing grand about a Tuesday floor But something in me settled there Watching you gather what fell down

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, you make the small things holy You turn the ordinary to gold Nathaniel, I could watch you forever Simple love is the best love I know

  Verse 2

  People rushed around us in the aisle Nobody else stopped to see You picked up every scattered pea Like it was the only job to be

  Bridge

  I don't need a grand old story Just you, steady, close to me This is the whole of my glory This is all I need to see

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, you make the small things holy You turn the ordinary to gold Nathaniel, I could watch you forever Simple love is the best love I know

  Outro

  Some peas still roll beneath the fridge I leave them there, I don't mind at all

  Verse 1

  The fire's low but it still spits grey sparks landing where grass sits damp ground holding what remains you're the warmth that still remains

  Pre-chorus

  Everything else has turned to ash every other spark's gone out fast but this one holds, and so do you

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, you're the coal that stays lit when the rest goes cold and quits Nathaniel, steady through the dark you're my last and truest spark

  Verse 2

  Iron bricks won't hold the heat but you're the warmth I keep to meet the grass stays damp, the night stays long but you're the one thing constant, strong

  Pre-chorus

  Everything else has turned to ash every other spark's gone out fast but this one holds, and so do you

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, you're the coal that stays lit when the rest goes cold and quits Nathaniel, steady through the dark you're my last and truest spark

  Bridge

  No need to build the fire back tall just need you here, that's all some loves burn loud, then disappear yours just stays, quiet, near

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, you're the coal that stays lit when the rest goes cold and quits Nathaniel, steady through the dark you're my last and truest spark

  Outro

  Grass stays damp, the fire stays low you're the ember I won't let go

  Verse 1

  Wheels are squeaking on the white lines Nothing fancy, nothing designed Just you walking there beside me Keeping easy, keeping in time

  Pre-chorus

  Small things turn into the whole thing Ordinary starts to feel like gold And I'm not ready to let go

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, you're the one I choose Every plain day, you're the news Nothing genial about this feeling Nathaniel, I was always going to lose

  Verse 2

  Every aisle looks the same to strangers You make the dull parts feel like home Push the trolley, talk about nothing Somehow it's never dull when you're the one

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand or gainly Just your hand and the same old line Some folks search for medial reasons I just know that you are mine

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, you're the one I choose Every plain day, you're the news Nothing genial about this feeling Nathaniel, I was always going to lose

  Outro

  Wheels still squeak on the same white lines And I'm glad that you're still walking mine
