Beautiful Lindsey

[Verse 1]
Met you in a quiet room
You laughed, my fears fell off my back
Every scar I ever carried
Didn’t feel so sharp after that
[Verse 2]
You call my name, the noise goes hush
Storm in my chest turns to sleep
All these pieces I’ve been dragging
You hold ’em close, you make ’em fit
[Chorus]
Lindsey, my beautiful
You make me feel happy, loved, complete
When the night gets mean and cruel
You’re the glue that holds my breaking seams
Lindsey, my beautiful
You’re the home I never thought I’d see
Every road runs crooked, cold
Till it bends you back to me
[Bridge]
I’ve been dust and drifting straw
You turned that mess to something strong (oh yeah)
If the dark comes for it all
I’ll still be reaching for your hand
[Chorus]
Lindsey, my beautiful
You make me feel happy, loved, complete
When the night gets mean and cruel
You’re the glue that holds my breaking seams
Lindsey, my beautiful
You’re the home I never thought I’d see
If my heart falls clean apart
You’re the one who gathers me

Verses stay low and intimate, chorus opens wider with harmonies and a haunting slide line. Subtle bass and sparse percussion keep it tense but tender, final chorus adds a rougher vocal edge and lingering reverb tail., beautiful, happy
