The Anchor

The world spins fast
You're the gravity. You're the anchor

I used to chase the horizon
Running on empty in the dark
Built a fortress of ambition —
Hundred-foot walls, no spark
Then you walked in like a sunrise
Melting the winter from my eyes
You didn't bring a ladder or a rope
You sat by the wall and handed me hope
You knew the ghosts in my closet
You dried the bitter tears

The city sings from the neon streets
Glitter and gold in the passing fleets
I don't need the flash, don't need the ash —
I found the diamond. I'm keeping that

You're the anchor when the waves climb
When the storm rolls in and the compass breaks
You're the steady ground, the calm I take —
My anchor, holding me. (my anchor)

My anchor, holding me. (my anchor)

Hold me down. (hold me)
Steady ground. (steady)
When the waves climb —

They say love is a gamble
A fever you pay to feel
But we built a quiet empire
Through Mondays, brick by brick, for real
You held my hand at account-zero
Didn't ask to be saved, didn't need a hero —
You just needed a partner standing tall
And because of you I can carry it all
You don't just clap when I'm winning
You sit with me in the shade

The city sings from the neon streets
Glitter and gold in the passing fleets
I don't need the flash, don't need the ash —
I found the diamond. I'm keeping that

You're the anchor when the waves climb
When the storm rolls in and the compass breaks
You're the steady ground, the calm I take —
My anchor, holding me. (my anchor)

Truth is, it's easy to love when the weather is fair
When the money is right and there's time to spare
But you stayed when the cupboard was an echo
When the phone was full of no
So the sun, the moon, the whole wide sky?
Small change. I've got you

Eh! (hold me)
Eh! (steady)

You're the anchor when the waves climb
When the storm rolls in and the compass breaks
You're the steady ground, the calm I take —
My anchor, holding me. (my anchor)

The anchor. My steady ground
I found my peace. Right here
