  Verse 1

  I watch the water find its way and think of how you hold the room the street outside has turned to grey but you still burn back the gloom

  Pre-chorus

  I trace the shapes the glass has made and every line comes back to you the rain won't let this feeling fade

  Chorus

  Owen, you're the warmth I'm going to nothing dims the way you're glowing every road I take leads through straight to you, no matter where I'm going

  Verse 2

  You laugh and steam up all the air you make the coldest morning kind I don't need the picture clear when you're the one I keep in mind

  Chorus

  Owen, you're the warmth I'm going to nothing dims the way you're glowing every road I take leads through straight to you, no matter where I'm going

  Bridge

  Let the whole street wash away you're the one thing left worth knowing I don't need a brighter day just you, still here, and still glowing

  Chorus

  Owen, you're the warmth I'm going to nothing dims the way you're glowing every road I take leads through straight to you, no matter where I'm going

  Outro

  The rain runs down but I don't mind you're the light I still keep finding

  Verse 1

  Rain runs off my coat tonight You take it before I ask Your hands find the collar first I feel the day slowing

  Chorus

  Owen, you keep the porch light on Owen, you never make me wait long I bring the storm in on my back You take it, you keep me glowing

  Verse 2

  My boots are heavy by the door Leather dark and stiff with cold You set them somewhere they can dry This is how the love keeps showing

  Pre-chorus

  I don't say much when I get in You already know the weather I've had So come here before I start knowing

  Chorus

  Owen, you keep the porch light on Owen, you never make me wait long I bring the storm in on my back You take it, you keep me glowing

  Bridge

  Some nights I bring you nothing good Just wet cloth and a tired face You hang it up like it's no trouble That's the part I keep on going

  Chorus

  Owen, you keep the porch light on Owen, you never make me wait long I bring the storm in on my back You take it, you keep me glowing

  Outro

  My coat still drips onto the floor But I'm not cold here anymore

  Verse 1

  I hang the pegs out slow Thinking how you stay White cloth catching morning You are here to say

  Pre-chorus

  Something holds when wind gets rough Something bends but never breaks Like the way you love is steady

  Chorus

  Owen, you keep me going Even when the sky turns grey Steady as that line still holding Owen, you're the reason I stay

  Verse 2

  The hemp line dips and rises You do that too somehow Bending but never leaving You're still here right now

  Pre-chorus

  Something holds when wind gets rough Something bends but never breaks Like the way you love is steady

  Chorus

  Owen, you keep me going Even when the sky turns grey Steady as that line still holding Owen, you're the reason I stay

  Bridge

  No grand thing, just this Just your hand and mine Just the wind and knowing You are always kind

  Chorus

  Owen, you keep me going Even when the sky turns grey Steady as that line still holding Owen, you're the reason I stay

  Outro

  The pegs still hold the morning And I still hold you the same
