Songs for Thiago

Verse 1

Cold bench, stripped branches overhead Paper plates piled up with crumbs Somebody saved the seat for you Since the whole party always comes

Pre-chorus

Somebody's fetching candles now Somebody's counting one to ten Hold onto that breath a second

Chorus

Thiago, this whole park is singing Loud enough to wake the trees Thiago, we都 came here for you Down on happy, weak at the knees

Verse 2

The wind keeps stealing all the napkins Nobody minds, we're laughing too hard You're the reason coats stayed open Out here freezing in this yard

Pre-chorus

Somebody's fetching candles now Somebody's counting one to ten Hold onto that breath a second

Chorus

Thiago, this whole park is singing Loud enough to wake the trees Thiago, we all came here for you Down on happy, weak at the knees

Bridge

Every year we find this bench again Every year the crumbs come back You're the one who makes it worth it Circling round on the same old track

Chorus

Thiago, this whole park is singing Loud enough to wake the trees Thiago, we all came here for you Down on happy, weak at the knees

Outro

Leave the plates out on the bench We'll be back next year for you

Verse 1

Snow is falling on the corner Boxes stacked up like a fortune Ribbon catching every streetlight Waiting there because we love you

Pre-chorus

Every box has got your name on Every bow was tied for you So come on out and see what's coming

Chorus

Thiago, Thiago, the corner's piled high Yellow boxes bright against the sky We wrapped up this whole town for you Thiago, this day is why

Verse 2

You could pick the biggest present Or the small one tucked in front We would still just want to watch you Grinning like you always want

Chorus

Thiago, Thiago, the corner's piled high Yellow boxes bright against the sky We wrapped up this whole town for you Thiago, this day is why

Bridge

Cold outside but we don't feel it Warm because you're standing here Every year we stack it higher Just to hold you one more year

Chorus

Thiago, Thiago, the corner's piled high Yellow boxes bright against the sky We wrapped up this whole town for you Thiago, this day is why

Outro

Snow will melt but this won't, Thiago Boxes gone, the love still stands

Verse 1

We dragged chairs up to the gravel Folded seats in a crooked row Every lantern swings for you tonight Because you're the one we all know

Chorus

Thiago, the rooftop glows for you Thiago, we chose this view for you Every light strung up above Is just our way of saying love

Verse 2

You laugh and the whole roof warms up You lean in and the night feels sure Nobody checks the time up here Nobody wants a cleaner cure

Pre-chorus

The wind keeps tugging at the lights We hold our cups and hold this night Something's rising, get it right

Chorus

Thiago, the rooftop glows for you Thiago, we chose this view for you Every light strung up above Is just our way of saying love

Bridge

Somebody's phone lights up your face Somebody laughs and spills their cup We're not leaving this rough old place Not while you're the one holding us up

Chorus

Thiago, the rooftop glows for you Thiago, we chose this view for you Every light strung up above Is just our way of saying love

Outro

The lanterns dim but we don't move We came up here because of you

Verse 1

The lighter glows red on the dash gravel kicks up under the floor you keep both hands steady on the wheel and I trust you with the crash

Chorus

Thiago, I could ride this road forever nobody steadies me like you every mile just proves it truer Thiago, you're the calm I'm holding onto

Verse 2

You never fill up the quiet just let it sit between us fine I used to need the noise to feel it now I just need you by my side

Pre-chorus

Something in the way you drive slow tells me you're not going anywhere and I feel that certainty building

Chorus

Thiago, I could ride this road forever nobody steadies me like you every mile just proves it truer Thiago, you're the calm I'm holding onto

Bridge

No map, no rush, no reason to hide it just you, the dark, and the gravel underneath I've never needed proof beside it your hands are all the proof I need

Chorus

Thiago, I could ride this road forever nobody steadies me like you every mile just proves it truer Thiago, you're the calm I'm holding onto

Outro

That small red light still glowing on the dash still steady, still the way I feel

Verse 1

Boxes on the floor again half unpacked since who knows when poetry shelves are leaning close you're the one I love the most

Pre-chorus

I don't need the boxes gone just need you to stay this long and I feel the pull grow strong

Chorus

Thiago, you're the quiet in the noise Thiago, you're the steadiest of choice I found you in the dust and mess and somehow that's the part I love best

Verse 2

We never got the shelves quite right books leaning in like they might fall together, side by side that's how I feel when you're near my life

Bridge

No need to fix what's slightly bent some things are better left just spent the room's a mess but I don't mind because you're the calm I always find

Chorus

Thiago, you're the quiet in the noise Thiago, you're the steadiest of choice I found you in the dust and mess and somehow that's the part I love best

Outro

Leave the boxes where they lie you're still the reason, still the why

Verse 1

I flattened grass beneath my boots Just to have you close a while No plan, no view, no fancy roots Just your hand and your slow smile

Pre-chorus

Some loves come loud with noise and speed Mine grew quiet in the shade But quiet loves are strong indeed

Chorus

Thiago, you're the ground I choose Wherever we decide to land No fear of what I'll win or lose When you are sitting close at hand

Verse 2

The wool is rough beneath us both You laugh at how it makes you itch I'd trade no comfort for this growth This worn old blanket, this same stitch

Chorus

Thiago, you're the ground I choose Wherever we decide to land No fear of what I'll win or lose When you are sitting close at hand

Bridge

Whatever field we're standing in Whatever weather comes our way I'd lay this blanket down again Just to keep you close today

Chorus

Thiago, you're the ground I choose Wherever we decide to land No fear of what I'll win or lose When you are sitting close at hand

Outro

The grass will rise when we get up But you'll still be my chosen ground

Verse 1

The window glass hums soft against the passing lights of night We roll through streets all painted gold and blue and neon bright Rain traces roads that lead you nowhere but towards your rest Hold my hand and let the whole wide city drift from sight

Pre-chorus

Every streetlamp bends its head to watch you closing your eyes The bus breathes low and slow beneath these quiet, drifting skies So let the hum carry you where the gentle dark is waiting

Chorus

Thiago, the night is holding you soft and low Rain on the glass is singing you a lullaby, and slow You are the warmth this whole cold city cannot ever hide Sleep now, Thiago, there is nowhere safer you could go

Verse 2

The wheels below are humming out a tune too soft to name Streetlights blur to ribbons through the rain against the pane You are curled up warm within the shelter of my arm Nothing in this whole wide night could ever bring you shame

Bridge

Let the engine hum become the sound of being loved Let the rain that taps the glass become a hand above

Chorus

Thiago, the night is holding you soft and low Rain on the glass is singing you a lullaby, and slow You are the warmth this whole cold city cannot ever hide Sleep now, Thiago, there is nowhere safer you could go

Outro

The glass still hums its quiet song against the fading light Sleep well, Thiago, you are carried safely through the night

Verse 1

A small flame is bending low inside the thick green glass tonight Watching how it settles makes my own breath settle too Every worry I was holding starts to loosen from the light There is nowhere I would rather be right now than here with you

Pre-chorus

The wax is going quiet as it slowly turns to gold Nothing in the dark tonight has any hold on you So let the last bit of the evening finally unfold

Chorus

Thiago, close your eyes now, let the little light burn low You are held here safer than the softest thing I know Rest inside the quiet that the candle's glow will show Thiago, drift on gently, there is nowhere else to go

Verse 2

The green glass holds the flicker like a secret kept from harm You are held the same way, tucked in close and out of reach Sleep is only warmth that spreads out slowly through your arm There is nothing in tonight that has a single thing to teach

Pre-chorus

The wax is going quiet as it slowly turns to gold Nothing in the dark tonight has any hold on you So let the last bit of the evening finally unfold

Chorus

Thiago, close your eyes now, let the little light burn low You are held here safer than the softest thing I know Rest inside the quiet that the candle's glow will show Thiago, drift on gently, there is nowhere else to go

Bridge

Even when the flame has finally sunk from sight You will still be wrapped in every bit of this warm light

Chorus

Thiago, close your eyes now, let the little light burn low You are held here safer than the softest thing I know Rest inside the quiet that the candle's glow will show Thiago, drift on gently, there is nowhere else to go

Outro

The green glass keeps its glow long after the flame has gone still And you will keep on being loved long after this light will

Verse 1

Soft grey ash is falling gently over embers burning red Warmth is folding round this quiet room like blankets on a bed Somewhere deep beneath the ashes still a little fire glows That's the kind of light that lives in you, my little Thiago

Chorus

Thiago, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow Sleepy eyes are closing soft as embers dimming down below Thiago, dream a while beneath the gentle hearth's low light Nothing in this whole wide world can touch you here tonight

Verse 2

Every ember settles down the way your breathing settles too Quiet is the colour of the peace that's wrapping around you Nothing here will hurry you, no reason left to fight Rest inside the warmth that's staying with you through the night

Pre-chorus

Feel how still the room has grown, how soft the shadows lay Nothing here will ask you now to keep the dark at bay Close your eyes and let the warmth come carry you away

Chorus

Thiago, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow Sleepy eyes are closing soft as embers dimming down below Thiago, dream a while beneath the gentle hearth's low light Nothing in this whole wide world can touch you here tonight

Bridge

Long after every ember turns to ash and fades from sight You will still be held by something warmer than the light Sleep will keep you safe till morning finds you soft and bright

Chorus

Thiago, hush now, let the evening hold you close and slow Sleepy eyes are closing soft as embers dimming down below Thiago, dream a while beneath the gentle hearth's low light Nothing in this whole wide world can touch you here tonight

Outro

Grey ash settles soft and quiet over embers turning low Sleep now, little Thiago, someone's watching as you go
