  Verse 1

  Wooden pegs hold the wire down tight Socks are swinging slow in the breeze I watch you work in the fading light Something in it always finds me at ease

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the calm in my chest Every ordinary thing turns to gold Nothing about you feels like the rest Stacey, you're the warmth I hold

  Verse 2

  Rust has bitten into the wire We keep stringing it up anyway There's a patience in you I admire You make the plainest hours feel like play

  Pre-chorus

  I could stand here forever it seems Watching the small things turn into dreams Waiting for you to look over and stay

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the calm in my chest Every ordinary thing turns to gold Nothing about you feels like the rest Stacey, you're the warmth I hold

  Bridge

  Some days the line just holds the wind Some days it's you holding me still Either way you're the one I depend

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the calm in my chest Every ordinary thing turns to gold Nothing about you feels like the rest Stacey, you're the warmth I hold

  Outro

  The socks come down but the wire stays I'll keep choosing you, always

  Verse 1

  Headlights cross a car park floor catching oil beneath a trolley cracked and spreading, dull and slow and somehow I still think of you

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here was made to shine but you make plain things feel like mine I never meant to need this much

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the steady part not lacy, not some borrowed art just you beside me in the dark holding all the pieces of my heart

  Verse 2

  Rain comes thin across the glass blurring every sign we pass you hum something soft and low it's the only tune I want to know

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here was made to shine but you make plain things feel like mine I never meant to need this much

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the steady part not lacy, not some borrowed art just you beside me in the dark holding all the pieces of my heart

  Bridge

  No one's writing songs about this ground but I'd choose it if you're around some kind of grace in ordinary things when you're the one that quiet brings

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the steady part not lacy, not some borrowed art just you beside me in the dark holding all the pieces of my heart

  Outro

  The light still finds that same old stain but home is just wherever you remain

  Verse 1

  The napkins shake loose from the dispenser I catch one before it can fall You laugh like it's some kind of miracle I'd catch every one if you called

  Pre-chorus

  It's such a small thing to notice But I notice everything you do Every little proof that I'm lucky

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the reason I look up From whatever I was doing before Stacey, plain old counters turn golden When you're the one I'm sitting for

  Verse 2

  You fold the napkin into something small A boat, a bird, I can't quite tell You hand it over like it's nothing I keep it anyway, just as well

  Pre-chorus

  It's such a small thing to notice But I notice everything you do Every little proof that I'm lucky

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the reason I look up From whatever I was doing before Stacey, plain old counters turn golden When you're the one I'm sitting for

  Bridge

  No fireworks, no big speech needed Just you, still here, still choosing me That's the whole of it, that's plenty That's the only luck I need to see

  Chorus

  Stacey, you're the reason I look up From whatever I was doing before Stacey, plain old counters turn golden When you're the one I'm sitting for

  Outro

  Somewhere there's a napkin in my pocket Folded soft, still holding your shape
