Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
I notice lately , somethings goinf on with you baby it's alright just tell me what yiu need
im going crazy works been killing me but baby well be alright
[Pre-Chorus]
I see it, I see it — your shoulders carry slow thunder
Hold, hold — let me learn the map under your eyes
A little hush, a little lean, the room breathes round us
Say the word, I'll fold the night into our side
[Chorus]
Tell me what you need — I'll be the quiet in your room
Pull the night around you, hush the city's loud tune
Lay your tired head down, babe, I'll keep the light
Until your mornings move slow and bright
[Verse 2]
Nine to midnight, fluorescent dreams and coffee rings
You fold your day like paper boats worn at the seams
Your laugh's a thin repair, your hands a little tired of trying
I'll warm the sleeves of silence where your heart keeps hiding
I count the little things — the porch light you leave on late
The way you hum that line when the microwave complains
[Pre-Chorus]
I see it, I see it — a flicker behind your calm
Hold, hold — I'll press my palm to anchor your palm
Soft answers, small fixes: ice for the fevered hour
A steady sound to lean into when the world feels sour
[Chorus]
Tell me what you need — I'll be the quiet in your room
Pull the night around you, hush the city's loud tune
Lay your tired head down, babe, I'll keep the light
Until your mornings move slow and bright
[Bridge]
Remember the night the power cut and we lit the stairs?
You hummed our song to the dark and laughed at the thin air
It cracked me open — I learned how to be your harbor then
I won't be made of promises that fold with other men's
If fear wakes you at three, I'll meet you in the doorway
If work keeps calling names that steal your breath away
I'll trade my sleep for your peace, I'll stand the night like stone
Say the need — I hear it — you don't have to go home alone
[Chorus — Rise]
Tell me what you need — I'll be the quiet in your room (quiet in your room)
Pull the night around you, hush the city's loud tune (hush the tune)
Lay your tired head down, babe, I'll keep the light (I'll keep it bright)
Until your mornings move slow and bright
[Chorus — Full Harmony]
Tell me what you need — I'll be the quiet in your room (ooh, ooh)
Pull the night around you, hush the city's loud tune (call and answer)
Lay your tired head down, babe, I'll keep the light (keep the light)
Until your mornings move slow and bright (slow and bright)
[Outro]
Keep the time — call and answer: you and me and the line
A soft refrain, a little breath, we learn to keep the light
(Harmonize on the last line — three-part on "slow and bright")
