Love Songs for Steven

Verse 1

We climbed till our breath ran thin Left our jumpers folded on the stone Sat down with the whole valley below You laughed and the sound pulled me in

Pre-chorus

Nothing here is asking to be more The wind is just the wind tonight But something in me leans toward

Chorus

Steven, you're the calm I chose Warm as wool when the cold wind blows Not a fire, just a steady glow Steven, that's the love I know

Verse 2

The sun moved slow across your face I didn't reach to check the time Some days ask for nothing grand Just you and this borrowed space

Pre-chorus

Nothing here is asking to be more The wind is just the wind tonight But something in me leans toward

Chorus

Steven, you're the calm I chose Warm as wool when the cold wind blows Not a fire, just a steady glow Steven, that's the love I know

Bridge

I don't need the view to change I don't need a bigger name for this Just your shoulder against mine Just the quiet, holding what it is

Chorus

Steven, you're the calm I chose Warm as wool when the cold wind blows Not a fire, just a steady glow Steven, that's the love I know

Outro

The jumpers still wait on that stone Steven, I'd climb again to find you home

Verse 1

You reached before I even moved Same shelf, same second, same design I felt the whole shop disappear When your hand landed next to mine

Pre-chorus

Nobody plans a moment like that It just arrives and takes its time I'm still not sure what made me look But something in it felt like a sign

Chorus

Steven, I didn't believe in luck Then you were standing in the aisle Steven, you make the ordinary hold Some kind of weight I can't deny

Verse 2

We argued gently who should keep it Neither one of us let go I liked you better with each excuse Something in me started to know

Pre-chorus

Nobody plans a moment like that It just arrives and takes its time I'm still not sure what made me look But something in it felt like a sign

Chorus

Steven, I didn't believe in luck Then you were standing in the aisle Steven, you make the ordinary hold Some kind of weight I can't deny

Bridge

We never did agree whose book it was We just kept meeting back that way I stopped keeping score a long while back Now every quiet day feels made

Chorus

Steven, I didn't believe in luck Then you were standing in the aisle Steven, you make the ordinary hold Some kind of weight I can't deny

Outro

Somewhere there's a shelf that knows our names Two hands still reaching, still the same

Verse 1

Rain comes down and finds the step Water pools where old moss slept You pull me in beneath your arm Nothing out here does me harm

Pre-chorus

Something in me starts to settle Something quiet finds its level Comes the part I can't hold in

Chorus

Steven, you're the reason I stay dry Half of nothing, twice as high Every storm feels short with you Steven, I would drown without your view

Verse 2

Drips run down the metal spoke Land between us like a joke You laugh and lean a little more Closer than we were before

Chorus

Steven, you're the reason I stay dry Half of nothing, twice as high Every storm feels short with you Steven, I would drown without your view

Bridge

No umbrella big enough for two Yet somehow it always fits with you Shoulders damp but hearts kept warm We make our own kind of calm

Chorus

Steven, you're the reason I stay dry Half of nothing, twice as high Every storm feels short with you Steven, I would drown without your view

Outro

The step still holds our two wet prints Some things stay after the rain gives hints
