Wet gravel by the school gate shone three paper plates lined on a bench you turned a grey old Tuesday on and somehow made the puddles drench with light

Verse 1

There's a green bike by the water Ribbon tied up on the bars Someone left it there this morning Just to say you're going far

Light the candles, call your name out Watch the whole room turn to face Everybody's got a story Where you're kind of hard to replace

Past the milestone, down the towpath Someone's counting all your years You've been steady through the seasons Turned our worry into cheers

Verse 1

The ivy's dry against the wall I hear it rustle, soft and low Two mugs are cooling on the table And still I'm glad to watch you go

Pre-chorus

You don't say much, you never did But quiet suits the way we are I feel the words before they're said

Chorus

Trevor, you're the steady kind The sort of calm I'm leaning on Trevor, I have peace of mind Whenever you're the one I'm with

Verse 2

The garden's gone a little grey But you still make it feel like treasure I watch your hands around the cup And know this warmth is mine to measure

The window's fogged up over the sink Blue plates stacked before I think Rain traces down the pane alone You're the one steady thing I've got

Chorus

Trevor, you're the calm in the room Nothing rushed and nothing loomed However quiet the evening gets Trevor, I'd still choose you

Verse 2

Steam climbs up from the kettle's spout You hum something I can't work out Plates dry slow on the little rack This is enough, I have no doubt

Pre-chorus

I watch the water bead and fall Nothing loud, no need to call Just this room and what it holds

Chorus

Trevor, you're the calm in the room Nothing rushed and nothing loomed However quiet the evening gets Trevor, I'd still choose you

Bridge

No grand line I need to say You just make the plain day stay I'm glad it's you here in this light

Trevor, you're the calm in the room Nothing rushed and nothing loomed However quiet the evening gets Trevor, I'd still choose you

The glass still holds the grey outside But you're the warm I keep inside

Verse 1

I found one piece of driftwood today and thought of how you're built to stay the tide took every step we made but you don't wash off, you don't fade

Pre-chorus

I've watched the grey sand shift and turn seen softer things get lost or worn but you're the one thing I still need

Chorus

Trevor, you're the calm in every storm the steady hand that keeps me warm however far the tide may pull I'm never lonely, never full

Verse 2

Some things get carried off by chance some loves are only one quick glance but you stayed here when others left the only constant I have kept

Bridge

No footprints last, I understand but you're not written in the sand you're carved in something built to last

Chorus

Trevor, you're the calm in every storm the steady hand that keeps me warm however far the tide may pull I'm never lonely, never full

Outro

The sand forgets, but I remember you're the driftwood I hold forever

Verse 1

Wax is sliding slow down the brass tonight Pooling soft where the wooden table gleams You are curled up warm in the fading light Drifting gently into your quiet dreams

Pre-chorus

Every little flicker settles calm and low Hushing all the corners it will ever hold Close your eyes now, let the soft glow

Chorus

Trevor, sleep is calling soft and slow Nothing in this room will ever harm you You are held here safer than you know Trevor, rest, and I will stay here for you

Verse 2

Shadows lean and settle along the wall Nothing here is sharp or cold or loud You are wrapped in something warm and small Breathing slow beneath this gentle shroud

Bridge

However long the dark stretches out tonight I will keep the small flame burning near Whenever you wake, you'll find the light Steady, waiting, close enough to hear

Chorus

Trevor, sleep is calling soft and slow Nothing in this room will ever harm you You are held here safer than you know Trevor, rest, and I will stay here for you

Outro

The wax will cool and harden on the wood by morning But you'll wake warm, and safe, and loved, and free

Verse 1

Down the quiet hallway something old is swinging slow Brass and warm and steady, keeping watch till morning light You are held here softly while the house begins to glow Nothing needs to hurry, everything will be alright

Pre-chorus

Every tick is gentle, every swing a lullaby The dark beyond the doorway cannot reach you where you lie Close your eyes now, Trevor, let the quiet carry you

Chorus

Trevor, you are treasure, sleeping safe and sound Nothing in this house will let you down Trevor, you are loved in ways both old and new Whatever comes tomorrow, tonight belongs to you

Verse 2

The hallway holds its breath between each gentle brass reply Somewhere past the doorway, the whole wide world slows down You are wrapped in something softer than the darkest sky No storm could ever find you, no shadow wears a frown

Bridge

Swing on through the stillness, low and slow and true Every beat is saying that somebody chose you Rest now in the rhythm, let your worries drift away

Chorus

Trevor, you are treasure, sleeping safe and sound Nothing in this house will let you down Trevor, you are loved in ways both old and new Whatever comes tomorrow, tonight belongs to you

Outro

The brass will keep on swinging long after you're asleep Down the quiet hallway, love is what it keeps

Verse 1

Frost is creeping soft across the window pane tonight drawing quiet patterns in the pale and fading light but the floor stays warm beneath your little sleepy feet and this whole small room is where the day and you can meet

Pre-chorus

Outside the glass goes silver, cold and still and slow but here inside the warmth has nowhere else to go so let your eyes grow heavy as the night comes near

Chorus

Trevor, the frost can't touch you, not while you're held so dear sleep now, my treasure, there is nothing here to fear whatever the night is doing beyond that frozen glass you are safe and you are loved, and that will always last

Verse 2

The floorboards creak so gently underneath the settling cold holding up this quiet room the way they always hold and every breath you take tonight is soft and slow and small wrapped up warm and certain, nothing here at all can fall

Chorus

Trevor, the frost can't touch you, not while you're held so dear sleep now, my treasure, there is nothing here to fear whatever the night is doing beyond that frozen glass you are safe and you are loved, and that will always last

Bridge

Whenever the dark feels endless and the wind begins to sigh the warmth stays here beside you until the morning light however far the night stretches, however long it seems you will be held here softly, drifting deep in gentle dreams

Chorus

Trevor, the frost can't touch you, not while you're held so dear sleep now, my treasure, there is nothing here to fear whatever the night is doing beyond that frozen glass you are safe and you are loved, and that will always last

Outro

The frost will still be resting on the window when you wake and you'll be just as treasured as the whole wide morning breaks
