  Verse 1

  Frozen peas slide into the basket You ask me if we need more bread Nothing about this moment is special Yet I remember every word you said

  Pre-chorus

  The tannoy hums some tinny song Your hand finds mine between the aisles Something in me is turning over

  Chorus

  Victor, I never planned on this picture You in the trolley's crooked wheel Ordinary turns into a fixture When it's you that makes it real

  Verse 2

  You hold the tin up, read the label Ask me what I'm in the mood to eat I could stand here forever if I'm able Watching you decide on what we'll eat

  Pre-chorus

  The tannoy hums some tinny song Your hand finds mine between the aisles Something in me is turning over

  Chorus

  Victor, I never planned on this picture You in the trolley's crooked wheel Ordinary turns into a fixture When it's you that makes it real

  Bridge

  No candlelight, no grand design Just strip lights buzzing overhead But you're the warmest thing I've found And that says more than words have said

  Chorus

  Victor, I never planned on this picture You in the trolley's crooked wheel Ordinary turns into a fixture When it's you that makes it real

  Outro

  The peas will thaw before we're home But this, with you, was never small

  Verse 1

  I keep the crooked books you left the spines all soft and worn you read them slow by lamplight and I loved you every turn

  Pre-chorus

  I never asked for perfect just something steady and true and that turned out to be

  Chorus

  Victor, you're the one I chose not the loudest voice I know but the truest, closest fixture the one my whole heart shows

  Verse 2

  Some nights I pull one down just to hold what you once held the pages fall open easy like you're still here as well

  Chorus

  Victor, you're the one I chose not the loudest voice I know but the truest, closest fixture the one my whole heart shows

  Bridge

  I don't need the whole picture just the corner where you stand however the years might shift us I'll keep reaching for your hand

  Chorus

  Victor, you're the one I chose not the loudest voice I know but the truest, closest fixture the one my whole heart shows

  Outro

  The shelf still leans a little but it's holding, and so are we

  Verse 1

  Rain got into the woodpile again still I want you closer, not less the fire won't catch, but I don't mind this slow smoke says more than a blaze

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here burns fast or bright but I've never wanted the quick kind stay here while the smoke clears slow

  Chorus

  Victor, you're the one I keep choosing warm as embers, never needing proving you're the picture I still want to see Victor, stay right here with me

  Verse 2

  You laughed when the last log wouldn't light said we'd sit out here half the night I watched you more than watched the flame something in me learned your name

  Bridge

  Let the garden stay damp and grey I've got no reason to look away whatever this is, I'm glad it's slow

  Chorus

  Victor, you're the one I keep choosing warm as embers, never needing proving you're the picture I still want to see Victor, stay right here with me

  Outro

  The logs went out, but we stayed put smoke still rising from all that we've got
