[Verse 1] Start with the ground we stand, say what you mean, not planned. Clear eyes and open hands— that’s how we understand. I’m not here for louder lies, I’m here for steady ties. If you can meet me true, I’ll walk this night with you. Pre-Chorus No rush, no show, just let the real thing grow. Feet down, speak plain— meet me where you claim. Chorus (sing-along) Baseline— say it with me, baseline— steady and free. Baseline— if you mean it, baseline— let it be. Verse 2 We’ve all been sold a crowd, we’ve all been talked too loud. Tonight we choose the small, the voice that we can hold. I don’t need promises, just simple, honest steps. If you can keep that pace, you’ve got a keeper’s place. Pre-Chorus 2 No rush, no show, just let the real thing grow. Feet down, speak plain— meet me where you claim. Chorus 2 (sing-along) Baseline— say it with me, baseline— steady and free. Baseline— if you mean it, baseline— let it be. Bridge (lift; clap on 2 & 4 if you like) Write it quiet, keep it bold, hands in the light, stories told. If you’re with me, count to four— breathe it in and sing once more. Final Chorus + Tag (biggest sing-along) Baseline— say it with me, baseline— steady and free. Baseline— if you mean it, baseline— let it be. (one more time) Baseline— say it with me.
