  Verse 1

  One yellow stub falls from your hand Lands on the gravel where we stand No one else would keep a thing so small But you kept it, you kept it all

  Chorus

  Vera, you make the small things stay Every plain hour turns golden with you near Nothing about you is hard to hold dear Vera, you make the ordinary clearer

  Verse 2

  Trains keep leaving, we let them go We're not chasing anywhere, we're slow You laugh and the whole platform softens No rush in you, and I love that often

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you turn waiting into rest Watched you make the quietest things the best Now the whistle blows and I lean into this

  Chorus

  Vera, you make the small things stay Every plain hour turns golden with you near Nothing about you is hard to hold dear Vera, you make the ordinary clearer

  Bridge

  Not every love needs a grand terrain Some just settle like light after rain You're the steady kind, the kind that's true I keep choosing this, I keep choosing you

  Chorus

  Vera, you make the small things stay Every plain hour turns golden with you near Nothing about you is hard to hold dear Vera, you make the ordinary clearer

  Outro

  Somewhere a stub still rests on the track I'd drop it again just to have you back

  Verse 1

  Sleeves of old records stacked by the wall Dust hanging still in the afternoon light I put one on just to hear it fall And there you are again, out of sight

  Pre-chorus

  Every song we played is coming back now Nothing about this feels far away I keep finding you in the smallest things

  Chorus

  Vera, you're the one I keep returning to Nothing about you has ever felt like less Time moves on but you get clearer Every year with you I love you best

  Verse 2

  The needle catches, skips, then finds its groove Just like we did, without even trying You made a home out of nothing to prove And I'm still here, no reason for lying

  Bridge

  Some things fade the more you hold them You only shine the more I do

  Chorus

  Vera, you're the one I keep returning to Nothing about you has ever felt like less Time moves on but you get clearer Every year with you I love you best

  Outro

  Dust still turns in the same old light And Vera, you are still my favourite sight

  Verse 1

  Green light humming on the floor Some machine left on to glow Nothing in that room was special Until you stood in the door

  Pre-chorus

  I wasn't looking for anything Didn't know I had a hunger But something in me started leaning

  Chorus

  Vera, you make the whole room clearer Every ordinary thing gets nearer Even the cracked tile under our feet Vera, nothing has felt so dear as

  Verse 2

  We stood there long past midnight Talking about nothing at all The coil kept ticking behind you And I forgot how to stall

  Chorus

  Vera, you make the whole room clearer Every ordinary thing gets nearer Even the cracked tile under our feet Vera, nothing has felt so dear as

  Bridge

  Whatever era comes next I want you steady in it However far, however near I'll keep choosing this minute

  Chorus

  Vera, you make the whole room clearer Every ordinary thing gets nearer Even the cracked tile under our feet Vera, nothing has felt so dear as

  Outro

  That light still hums somewhere Still glowing green for you
