Tonight I speak in half-turned phrases Close enough to fog the glass
If you lean in,
I might say it If you blink,
I might pass (ahhhh)
Your name sits heavy on my tongue
Like metal in the rain I count the steps between us
Lose the count, start again
The room is all soft corners But my ribs feel like a
frame (hummmm)
I want to say: stay But I say: "fine"
My heart keeps tripping On the swing of time (oh)
The ceiling feels too close right now
My thoughts run up the walls
If you touch the lock I’ll come undone
I’m tired of being small
Let it break, let it blaze
Let the dark turn into day
Hold me
hard, don’t look away We can finally feel it
change (oh-oh) (ahhhh) (oh-oh)
I read your face like street signs Under sodium and stone
Every almost that we lived in
Every message left unsent
I keep my voice down low
So the night won’t break again (hummmm)
Pressure in my teeth again
Counting down the seconds
If you turn the key,
don’t stop
I’m done with half-pretending Let it break,
let it blaze Let the dark turn into day
Hold me hard, don’t look away
We can finally feel it change (oh-oh)
If I go quiet,
it’s not the end It’s me learning how to breathe
Stay right here inside the hush Till the fear lets go of
me (ahhhh)
Let it break, let it blaze Let the dark turn into day
Hold me hard, don’t look away
We can finally feel it change (oh-oh)
We don’t have to hide tonight
Just leave the door unlatched (ahhhh)
