  Verse 1

  Grey overpass, headlights low Puddle catching a yellow glow Nothing pretty about this car park But you make the dull world go

  Pre-chorus

  I never needed the pretty kind I just needed my hand in yours So when the light hits that water

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the warmth I lean on Every plain night turns to dawn Nobody else could hold me like this Sean, you're the one I'm on

  Verse 2

  Concrete pillars, oil and rain Nothing here to ease the pain But you laugh and the whole lot shifts Like the sun came out again

  Bridge

  Don't need the moon, don't need the stars Just need you leaning on these cars Ordinary places turn golden When your hand finds mine like that

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the warmth I lean on Every plain night turns to dawn Nobody else could hold me like this Sean, you're the one I'm on

  Outro

  Some puddle still holds that light Sean, you're the reason it shines so bright

• Steam on the Glass

  Blues slow dance · Blues · Guitar · Smoky

  A slow blues love song built around waiting in a steamy chip shop queue, where the small ordinary moment becomes proof of how deep the love runs.

  Verse 1

  Wire baskets swinging on their chains Steam on the glass, the window fogged You stand there grinning, no complaints Happy just waiting, never flogged

  Pre-chorus

  Queue shuffles forward, we don't care We've got all night, we've got the time The whole world's out there, but you're here

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the warmth when the room goes cold Steam on the glass, but I see you clear Sean, this feeling never gets old Every queue's worth it when you're near

  Verse 2

  Someone shouts numbers, we don't move Too wrapped up in our own small talk You tell a joke, badly, and it lands smooth Salt in the air, chip paper, a walk

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the warmth when the room goes cold Steam on the glass, but I see you clear Sean, this feeling never gets old Every queue's worth it when you're near

  Bridge

  Doesn't matter how long we wait Doesn't matter what's on the shelf I'd stand in line past closing time Just to watch you laugh to yourself

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the warmth when the room goes cold Steam on the glass, but I see you clear Sean, this feeling never gets old Every queue's worth it when you're near

  Outro

  Wire baskets swing, the steam clears slow Still holding your hand, still glad, still yours

  Piano ballad · Piano · Ballad · Intimate

  A quiet piano ballad for Sean, built from a steamed up bathroom mirror, about the plain steady comfort of being loved without needing to explain yourself.

  Verse 1

  Steam climbs up the mirror again I wipe it clear with my hand Your face comes back a moment before the fog moves back in

  Pre-chorus

  I keep trying to hold the picture still but the glass won't let it stay so I say your name instead

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the one I keep in view Nothing else needs to be said Some mornings all I know for certain is Sean, and the warmth ahead

  Verse 2

  The tap runs hotter than it should I don't reach out to turn it down Not while you're still standing there not while the room is ours

  Pre-chorus

  I keep trying to hold the picture still but the glass won't let it stay so I say your name instead

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the one I keep in view Nothing else needs to be said Some mornings all I know for certain is Sean, and the warmth ahead

  Bridge

  No need to see you clearly I know you by heart already

  Chorus

  Sean, you're the one I keep in view Nothing else needs to be said Some mornings all I know for certain is Sean, and the warmth ahead

  Outro

  The mirror clears on its own now and there you are, still here
