  Verse 1

  A green marker sits between the pages holding open where we stopped weight of all that heavy paper light because you're what I've got

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the page I keep open Rebecca, you're the word I return to meanings shift and pages yellow nothing changes what is true

  Verse 2

  Dust collects on older covers corners bent from years of use still you find the one that matters still you know just what to choose

  Pre-chorus

  Every book has its lost places spines that crack and pages torn but you keep finding your way back to

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the page I keep open Rebecca, you're the word I return to meanings shift and pages yellow nothing changes what is true

  Bridge

  Some love shouts and some love whispers mine just marks the place and waits you don't need the grand gesture quiet holds the heaviest weight

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the page I keep open Rebecca, you're the word I return to meanings shift and pages yellow nothing changes what is true

  Outro

  Close the book, the marker holds it right where we left off, with you

  Verse 1

  Paper sleeves stacked by the player Nothing loud, no need to say more Just a needle finding its groove I keep the volume low for you to stay

  Pre-chorus

  No words needed in this room Just the hush before it plays And you, closer than the sound

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the quiet I choose Every song circles back to you Some hearts shout and some just hum With you it's always the second one

  Verse 2

  The stack grows taller every year Instrumental tracks, nothing to prove You hum along without the words I love that you don't need to move

  Bridge

  No chorus needed to know this is true Just the room, the record, and you Some things don't need a name But I'll say yours anyway

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the quiet I choose Every song circles back to you Some hearts shout and some just hum With you it's always the second one

  Outro

  Someday these sleeves will gather dust But you'll still be the sound I trust

  Verse 1

  I found four stones to hold you down smooth grey ones, better than a crown I pinned the corners of your day so nothing good could blow away

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the one I choose however this old world moves I'm not going anywhere from here Rebecca, hold me, I hold you as dear

  Verse 2

  The linen's yellow, soft and worn like something we have always known You laugh and the whole field agrees you settle everything, like these

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need paper vows or proof just grass beneath us, sky for roof Say my name and watch me stay for

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the one I choose however this old world moves I'm not going anywhere from here Rebecca, hold me, I hold you as dear

  Bridge

  Some loves need a grander stage ours just needs an afternoon, a page No fireworks, only this instead weight enough to hold what's said

  Chorus

  Rebecca, you're the one I choose however this old world moves I'm not going anywhere from here Rebecca, hold me, I hold you as dear

  Outro

  The stones are still here, holding fast and I'm still here, and this still lasts
