Lyrics

Verse 1

I know the rhythm of your steps

The pause before you speak

The way the air begins to bend

Whenever you retreat

I kept the silence where you left it

Held the shape you made

Waiting for the sound of you

To tell me I was safe

Pre-Chorus

Come close

Not yet

Come close

Not yet

Chorus

You pull the breath out of me

Then wait until I need it

You build the calm beneath my skin

Then break it when I feel it

I know what comes next

Why has it not happened yet?

Instrumental Break

Verse 2

Your voice still lingers in the air

A low and steady tone

It finds the part beneath my thoughts

That never let you go

Every word becomes a pulse

Pulling tighter in my chest

Instrumental Break

Bridge

Hold it

Hold it

Hold it

Let the silence swell

My blood keeps time

My hands go still

My body knows

Before I will

Final Chorus

You give the breath back to me

The moment I stop reaching

You set a calm beneath my skin

And every nerve believes it

You were never in the sound

You were the silence

I filled in myself

Instrumental Outro
