Songs for Rosalie

Verse 1

My breath turns to frost on the grass Grey sky, but the moment will pass I think of your hand and I'm warm You're steady inside of this storm

Pre-chorus

Winter can take its time I'm not asking for a sign I already know what's mine

Chorus

Rosalie, you're the warmth I trust Slowly, surely, this is us No frost could ever reach this deep You're the one thing I keep

Verse 2

The field is empty and still Cold air moves down from the hill But you're a fire I carry through Nothing outside beats what's true

Chorus

Rosalie, you're the warmth I trust Slowly, surely, this is us No frost could ever reach this deep You're the one thing I keep

Bridge

New love or old, it's the same You're the one steady flame Grey skies can stay if they want I've already got what counts

Chorus

Rosalie, you're the warmth I trust Slowly, surely, this is us No frost could ever reach this deep You're the one thing I keep

Outro

My breath still turns to frost on the grass But you're the warm I hold to last

Verse 1

The glass is sweating on the tray Nobody's touched the other half You're laughing at something small I said I'd frame that sound if I could laugh

Pre-chorus

It's just a room we're passing through But something here refuses to move on I don't want the moment ending

Chorus

Rosalie, you make the ordinary hold Nothing needs to shine or shout Rosalie, this is worth more than gold Just you here, no room for doubt

Verse 2

You leave the water ring behind Like proof that we were even here I'd keep that mark if I could choose Small evidence that you are near

Chorus

Rosalie, you make the ordinary hold Nothing needs to shine or shout Rosalie, this is worth more than gold Just you here, no room for doubt

Bridge

Maybe love isn't the big scene It's the pear we didn't finish Something shared and left half seen Still sweet, still there, undiminished

Chorus

Rosalie, you make the ordinary hold Nothing needs to shine or shout Rosalie, this is worth more than gold Just you here, no room for doubt

Outro

The glass has stopped its slow bleed dry Still, I would stay right where you are

Verse 1

Wool mittens, a bag going soft with grease Still I hold it like it's gold Some things you keep without a reason Some warmth you never let go cold

Pre-chorus

I've held plenty of things in my life But none of them held me back None of them knew my name

Chorus

Rosalie, you're the warm in my hands You're the thing I wasn't told to keep Slowly, you became my favourite habit Rosalie, you're the reason that I sleep

Verse 2

You laugh like the bag might tear Careful, like good things always spill Natalie could never make me feel this You just do, and you always will

Pre-chorus

I've held plenty of things in my life But none of them held me back None of them knew my name

Chorus

Rosalie, you're the warm in my hands You're the thing I wasn't told to keep Slowly, you became my favourite habit Rosalie, you're the reason that I sleep

Bridge

Nobody teaches you how to hold on You just grip and hope it stays I'm not letting go of this one Not today, not any of my days

Chorus

Rosalie, you're the warm in my hands You're the thing I wasn't told to keep Slowly, you became my favourite habit Rosalie, you're the reason that I sleep

Outro

My mittens are worn thin from holding But I never once thought to let go
