  Verse 1

  Wind's picking up out on the line Pegs holding on for dear life Damp denim socks twisting in time You're humming while you fix each strife

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this is fancy or new It's just the same hands doing what they do And somehow that's the thing that's pulling me to

  Chorus

  Vicki, you don't need the sky to fall Slow love's the kind that's steady and true Vicki, I'd choose this over it all Ordinary days made good by you

  Verse 2

  You pin the last sock to the wire Turn around and catch my eye Nothing here is built on fire But it never once runs dry

  Chorus

  Vicki, you don't need the sky to fall Slow love's the kind that's steady and true Vicki, I'd choose this over it all Ordinary days made good by you

  Bridge

  Some folks chase the loud and quick I'll take the quiet, take the slow Take you, humming, sock and peg Take the way this steady love can grow

  Chorus

  Vicki, you don't need the sky to fall Slow love's the kind that's steady and true Vicki, I'd choose this over it all Ordinary days made good by you

  Outro

  The wind will drop, the line will still Doesn't matter. I'm still here, I will

  Verse 1

  Bottles clink soft on the step Nothing much, just a sound I keep Morning comes slow, the light still grey But you're the reason I don't fret

  Pre-chorus

  I've counted every small thing you do The kettle on, the porch light too It all adds up to something true

  Chorus

  Vicki, you're the calm in my chest Steady as the porch at rest Some folks chase, some folks flee Vicki, you just stay with me

  Verse 2

  The slab's gone cracked beneath our feet Years of standing, years of heat Still you lean there, coffee in hand And somehow that's enough for me

  Chorus

  Vicki, you're the calm in my chest Steady as the porch at rest Some folks chase, some folks flee Vicki, you just stay with me

  Bridge

  No fireworks, no big parade Just the hush after the glasses clink Love that doesn't need to be said Love that's quiet, love that stays

  Chorus

  Vicki, you're the calm in my chest Steady as the porch at rest Some folks chase, some folks flee Vicki, you just stay with me

  Outro

  Bottles still clink on the step And I'm still glad you're the one I keep

  Verse 1

  That hallway light kept flickering green floor beneath our feet and nothing there was pretty but you made it feel complete

  Pre-chorus

  I wasn't looking for this standing under that dying light but something in me shifted

  Chorus

  Vicki, you steadied me right there in a hallway cold and thin the world was being tricky but you let the warmth back in

  Verse 2

  We've stood in better places since softer light, quieter floors but I still think of that minute you, leaning by those doors

  Bridge

  Some loves need candles and wine ours started on green linoleum and it never once felt lacking it just felt like home

  Chorus

  Vicki, you steadied me right there in a hallway cold and thin the world was being tricky but you let the warmth back in

  Outro

  Every flickering light since then just makes me think of you again
