Songs for Noor

Verse 1

Candles sitting cold in the grass Nobody thought to strike a match But you don't need fire to glow You're the brightest thing that will last

Melt the wax, we don't care Blow it out, we'll light the air You are worth the whole allure We would build a fire for you

Verse 1

A cardboard cup on a folding chair Steam still rising, going nowhere Somebody left it waiting there But you make waiting feel like care

Every plain thing turns to gold When you walk in from the cold So let the room get up and hold

Chorus

Noor, Noor, light of this place Nothing round you feels erased You turn the ordinary pure Happy birthday, Noor, endure

The launderette hums, the wheels go round Same old spin, same old sound But you walk in and change the ground Suddenly the world feels found

Bridge

Raise your cups, whatever they hold Raise them warm, raise them bold One more year for us to say You made an ordinary day

That cup still sits on its folding chair But we found something better there

Lane dividers floating still Water waiting for the light Everything is holding its breath Until you walk in tonight

We turned the music up for this Lit the room for your arrival We have been counting down to this

Noor, the whole room lifts for you Every light was saved for you Noor, we came here just for you Nothing shines till it hits you

Verse 2

You make an empty room feel full You turn quiet into sound Nobody stands still when you walk in You light up the whole ground

Blow the candles, start the beat Let the bassline find your feet Everyone here loves you deep This whole night is yours to keep

Noor, the whole room lifts for you Every light was saved for you Noor, we came here just for you Nothing shines till it hits you

Outro

The lane lines drift, the water waits But you're the tide that fills this place

Verse 1

Two old sleeves against a shelf Nobody straightens them out They found their own kind of balance That's how I lean when you're about

Chorus

Noor, you're the weight I lean on Steady even when I'm not Every version of you I've known Is still the one I want

Verse 2

Dust on the cover, worn at the spine Still the songs play true Nothing about loving you feels old It just feels tried and through

Pre-chorus

I've stopped looking for reasons They were never the point You're just where I keep going

Chorus

Noor, you're the weight I lean on Steady even when I'm not Every version of you I've known Is still the one I want

Bridge

No one has to pick us out We already found our place Some things don't need looking for We just lean into the space

Chorus

Noor, you're the weight I lean on Steady even when I'm not Every version of you I've known Is still the one I want

Outro

Two sleeves still leaning on that shelf Noor, that's how I'll stay

Verse 1

Mustard bleeds across the napkin Slow, the way my mind runs to you Trains keep leaving from the platform I don't move, I just stay true

Chorus

Noor, you're steady when the world rushes Nothing here needs to be pure Just this table, just this waiting I would choose you, Noor, I'm sure

Verse 2

You laugh at how the stain keeps spreading Say it looks like a map somewhere I say it looks like where I'm staying Long as you are sitting there

Pre-chorus

Every station has its leaving Every napkin gets thrown away But you're the thing I keep believing

Chorus

Noor, you're steady when the world rushes Nothing here needs to be pure Just this table, just this waiting I would choose you, Noor, I'm sure

Bridge

No grand gesture, no wide gold view Just wood grain and a mustard line This small mess is proof I'm here with you No place I'd trade for this one, this time

Chorus

Noor, you're steady when the world rushes Nothing here needs to be pure Just this table, just this waiting I would choose you, Noor, I'm sure

Outro

The napkin's stained, we'll leave it there Some things are worth the mess they wear

Verse 1

The cup slides slow across the table I watch it drift while I am able But my eyes keep coming back to you Nothing on this deck feels half as true

Pre-chorus

Salt air, and the engines humming low You take my hand, you steady me so I feel the pull before I even go

Chorus

Noor, you're the calm inside the weather Every rough sea, we ride together Noor, you're the one thing I am sure of You're the harbour that I'm dreaming of

Verse 2

The rail is cold beneath our hands Nothing about tonight was planned But you turned and caught my eye And I forgot to say goodbye

Chorus

Noor, you're the calm inside the weather Every rough sea, we ride together Noor, you're the one thing I am sure of You're the harbour that I'm dreaming of

Bridge

Let the deck tilt, let the water churn I'm not asking where we turn With you the map stops mattering Every course feels like returning

Chorus

Noor, you're the calm inside the weather Every rough sea, we ride together Noor, you're the one thing I am sure of You're the harbour that I'm dreaming of

Outro

The cup has stopped, the water's still You're the certain thing I'll always feel

Verse 1

The bus rolls slow past windows fogged with breath One small light glowing orange through the mist You watch it drift and know you are held close Nothing tonight can touch you, safe like this

Far off windows glow like tiny lanterns passing No need to count them, no need to stay awake You can let it all go soft and slowly fade now There is nowhere you need to be but safe

Outro

The glass has cleared, the orange light still glowing Sleep now, Noor, and let the night be kind

Verse 1

One small light is flickering low beyond the frosted pane Soft yellow through the falling snow, so gentle and so slow You are warmer than that little glow against the window's chill Curled here safe where nothing cold can ever touch or go

The flakes keep drifting, quiet as a breath against the glass Everything outside is hushed and settling down to rest And you are held so close here, nothing needs to pass

The window wears a frost that blooms like lace against the black Somewhere far a streetlamp flickers, small and warm and slow But nothing out there glows the way your breathing does right here You are the gentlest light that this small room will ever know

Let the whole wide winter hush itself to sleep Let your small hands loosen, let your eyelids fall Nothing that you carry is too heavy now to keep You are wrapped in something warmer than it all

The small red light is glowing soft above your sleepy head It hums a tune to carry you gently off to bed Every mile that passes by is one more mile of care Wrapped around you like a blanket, warm and always there

The engine sings a lullaby too low for you to fear Every shadow softens now because you're held so near The road ahead is quiet and it asks for nothing more Just to carry you home safely to the waiting door

Close your eyes and let the humming settle in your chest Every worry of the day can finally go to rest Let the warmth around you gather, gentle, slow and blessed

No need to keep your eyes open, no need to hold on tight You are cradled, you are treasured, always through the night

The small red light will keep on glowing till the morning comes Sleep now, Noor, beneath its gentle watch, my precious one
