[Verse 1]
You fold your jacket over mine, rain still clinging to your sleeve
You laugh at the city lights like they're secrets only you believe
The way you tuck your hair behind your ear — a small, steady ritual
Coffee on your breath, freckles on your shoulder, all of it habitual
My world was low and static, a grey that wouldn't sing
Then you came with color, with the quiet force of spring
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When the room tilts and my hands won't hold
You reach across the quiet and pull me from the cold
A pulse beneath my ribs starts to rise
You carve a sunrise out of my midnight skies
[Chorus]
I love every little thing you are
You lift me up, you heal my scars
In your heartbeat I belong
Your rhythm keeps me brave and strong
When darkness comes, you are my flame
My heart beats above the pain
[Verse 2]
You whistle off-key to songs we don't yet know
Leave postcards on the counter from the places where you go
Your calloused palms press maps into my skin, like promises that last
You read the lines I hide and stitch my future to the past
There are nights the shadows come back faster than a breath
But your voice is a lighthouse cutting through the threat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When the noise crowds in and old fears talk loud
You turn the world down, make room inside the crowd
A steady beat, a hand that won't let go
You anchor every tremor, teach my breath to slow
[Chorus]
I love every little thing you are
You lift me up, you heal my scars
In your heartbeat I belong
Your rhythm keeps me brave and strong
When darkness comes, you are my flame
My heart beats above the pain
[Bridge]
Remember the night I almost walked away?
I was a leaking ship, words rusting into grey
You stayed until the storm ran out of ways to drown us
You wrapped your jacket 'round my shoulders — simple, furious
You named the fear and made it small; you taught me how to stand
That memory is my compass, your palm is my command
[Strip-Down — Soft Vocal]
Just you and the quiet, and the small things that remain:
The way you hum, the way you promise, the way you say my name
[Final Chorus — Full Band]
I love every little thing you are
You lift me up, you heal my scars
In your heartbeat I belong
Your rhythm keeps me brave and strong
When darkness comes, you are my flame
My heart beats above the pain
[Outro]
So let the night bring heavy clouds, let the old songs try to call
I'll follow the cadence of your breath — steady, after all
With you, the world finds color, with you I find my way
My heart keeps time above the sadness, and stays.
