Intro

Yeah
Verse 1
You come in every Thursday, sit two stools away
Never notice that I notice every single word you say
I learned the shape of your laugh before I learned your name
Memorized the way you hold your glass, it's always the same
I've written half a hundred things I'll never get to say
Folded into napkins that I throw away
This is the safest kind of love, the kind that doesn't ask
The kind that lives entirely in a quiet, secret task
Pre-Chorus
And maybe one day I'll find the nerve to speak
(find the nerve, find the nerve)
But tonight I'll just watch you from the corner, quiet and weak
(find the nerve, find the nerve)
Chorus
I love you in the smallest, softest way I know
A glance across the bar that never gets to grow
Into anything you'd ever notice, ever see
Just a quiet kind of keeping that belongs to only me
(mm, oh-oh)
I love you in the smallest, softest way I know
(mm, oh-oh)
A glance across the bar that never gets to grow
Verse 2
Maybe it's safer this way, loving from a little far
Maybe some affection's only meant to live inside a bar
Where nobody asks for proof, where nobody needs the end
Just a quiet kind of company that doesn't have to bend
Into something it was never built to carry, never meant to hold
I'll keep this version folded soft, I'll keep this version told
Only to the bartender, only to the dim, low light
Only to the version of you that visits me at night
Pre-Chorus
And maybe one day I'll find the nerve to speak
(find the nerve, find the nerve)
But tonight I'll just watch you from the corner, quiet and weak
(find the nerve, find the nerve)
Chorus
I love you in the smallest, softest way I know
A glance across the bar that never gets to grow
Into anything you'd ever notice, ever see
Just a quiet kind of keeping that belongs to only me
(mm, oh-oh)
I love you in the smallest, softest way I know
(mm, oh-oh)
A glance across the bar that never gets to grow
Bridge
Quiet love
(quiet love)
Soft and small
(soft and small)
Maybe never saying anything
Is its own way to say it all
Chorus
I love you in the smallest, softest way I know
A glance across the bar that never gets to grow
Into anything you'd ever notice, ever see
Just a quiet kind of keeping that belongs to only me
(mm, oh-oh)
I love you in the smallest, softest way I know
(mm, oh-oh)
A glance across the bar that never gets to grow
Outro
(mm)
Belongs to only me
Yeah
