  Verse 1

  Midnight on a damp metal pole stuck there since that first small night the ticket has gone yellow now but you still feel exactly right

  Chorus

  Teresa, you're the one I keep not the flash, not the show under every noisy thing I've loved you're the part I'll never let go

  Verse 2

  We didn't need the whole big show just a doorway and the rain you laughed and something settled down that never got loud again

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched the seasons take the colour off of paper, off of skin but nothing's taken this away

  Chorus

  Teresa, you're the one I keep not the flash, not the show under every noisy thing I've loved you're the part I'll never let go

  Bridge

  Some loves burn and disappear some just quietly stay you were never the fire, Teresa you were the steady day

  Chorus

  Teresa, you're the one I keep not the flash, not the show under every noisy thing I've loved you're the part I'll never let go

  Outro

  That stub is barely holding on but I still know where it's stuck

  Verse 1

  Blue chairs bolted down in a row Green floor waxed from years ago Lights above us buzz and hum But I'd wait here for you, I would come

  Chorus

  Teresa, you make the hard seats soft Time slows down when you walk in the door Nothing shines here but your name Teresa, you turn the plain to flame

  Verse 2

  Nobody else would pick this place But I'd know you by your pace Fluorescent light don't flatter much Still I'm grateful just to feel your touch

  Pre-chorus

  I've sat in rooms that had no charm Waited out the cold, waited for the warm Then you came and something shifted here

  Chorus

  Teresa, you make the hard seats soft Time slows down when you walk in the door Nothing shines here but your name Teresa, you turn the plain to flame

  Bridge

  Don't need candlelight, don't need a song Just need you beside me, right where you belong No dressing this up, no need to pretend This plastic chair feels like a friend

  Chorus

  Teresa, you make the hard seats soft Time slows down when you walk in the door Nothing shines here but your name Teresa, you turn the plain to flame

  Outro

  Still those chairs are bolted in a row But I'd sit right here forever, you know

  Verse 1

  The paper's soaked through at the bottom Bags cutting red lines in my hand I don't mind the walk gets longer When I'm walking home to you, Teresa

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this evening is much Just bread and milk and tired feet But my heart starts picking up speed

  Chorus

  Teresa, you make the ordinary shine Every plain thing turns out fine Long as you're the one I'm coming to Teresa, I count on you like sunrise

  Verse 2

  The handles stretch, the bag near splits I hold it tighter, I don't drop it Some things you just don't let go of I carry it home like I carry you, Teresa

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this evening is much Just bread and milk and tired feet But my heart starts picking up speed

  Chorus

  Teresa, you make the ordinary shine Every plain thing turns out fine Long as you're the one I'm coming to Teresa, I count on you like sunrise

  Bridge

  Doesn't take much to make me glad Just the thought of your face at the door Years could pass and it stays that simple You're still the reason I hurry home

  Chorus

  Teresa, you make the ordinary shine Every plain thing turns out fine Long as you're the one I'm coming to Teresa, I count on you like sunrise

  Outro

  The bag still tears at the bottom But I'll keep carrying it home to you
