The story behind this song
He checked her brakes last Tuesday before the drive to her mom's, topped the tank, and never mentioned it. He texts "you down safe?" before the gate even opens. He remembered her childhood dog's name from one story years ago, warms the car in winter while the coffee's still pouring, and shows up at six with keys jingling and motor oil on his hands.
For the woman who's been quietly keeping score of every unflashy thing — and found out the quiet kind of love is the loudest thing she knows.
Lyrics
You'd never call it romance
But baby, I take notes
But baby, I take notes
You checked my brakes last Tuesday 'fore I drove to see my mom
Topped the tank and didn't mention it, that's just how you run
You text me when I'm landing, "you down safe?" before the gate
You're not the roses type — you're the never-makes-me-wait
Topped the tank and didn't mention it, that's just how you run
You text me when I'm landing, "you down safe?" before the gate
You're not the roses type — you're the never-makes-me-wait
You think I don't notice
I notice everything
I notice everything
It's the quiet kind of love, and it's the loudest thing I know
No spotlight, no big speeches, just you showing up like always
Other girls got fireworks — I got someone staying
The quiet kind of love says more than fireworks could say
No spotlight, no big speeches, just you showing up like always
Other girls got fireworks — I got someone staying
The quiet kind of love says more than fireworks could say
You remembered my dog's name from one story years ago
You warm my car in winter while the coffee's still to go
Smell of motor oil and aftershave when you walk through that door
That sound of keys at six o'clock — who could ask for more
You warm my car in winter while the coffee's still to go
Smell of motor oil and aftershave when you walk through that door
That sound of keys at six o'clock — who could ask for more
You'd never call it romance
So I wrote it down in a song
So I wrote it down in a song
It's the quiet kind of love, and it's the loudest thing I know
No spotlight, no big speeches, just you showing up like always
Other girls got fireworks — I got someone staying
The quiet kind of love says more than fireworks could say
No spotlight, no big speeches, just you showing up like always
Other girls got fireworks — I got someone staying
The quiet kind of love says more than fireworks could say
Someday when they ask me how I knew that you were mine
I'll say: he fixed the brakes, he texted, he showed up every time
I'll say: he fixed the brakes, he texted, he showed up every time
It's the quiet kind of love, and it's the loudest thing I know
No spotlight, no big speeches, just you showing up like always
Other girls got fireworks — I got someone staying
The quiet kind of love says more than fireworks could say
No spotlight, no big speeches, just you showing up like always
Other girls got fireworks — I got someone staying
The quiet kind of love says more than fireworks could say
Happy Valentine's, my steady man
I see it all — I always have
I see it all — I always have
