[Intro]
hum of a streetlamp, the night feels near
two voices, one breath, a distant ear
the clock keeps sighing in slow degrees
i whisper your name in a hush of malaise
[Verse 1]
i mute the world, and you flicker in my screen
a polar night, yet your warmth a private dream
you wear the distance like a tailored coat
i trace the echo of your softer note
[Pre-Chorus]
it’s not possession, it’s gravity’s art
every message a thread back to your heart
if i could bar the miles, i’d keep them at bay
but fear orders silence where i long to say
[Chorus]
i don’t want to possess you, just can’t learn to let go
your absence carves a quiet depth in my atmosphere so slow
stay in the ache, stay in the taste of you near
i’m wrapped in the fear of losing what i’m holding dear
[Verse 2]
your fortress face, a winter keepsake of stone
beneath it a tremor only i’ve ever known
i’ve learned to read the punctuation you don’t speak
your little sighs become the vows i seek
[Pre-Chorus]
i’m not chasing power, i’m chasing a trace
of the softer dawn you hide behind your gaze
if distance is a river, i’m learning to swim
with every heartbeat pressing the exhale in
[Chorus]
i don’t want to possess you, just can’t learn to let go
your absence carves a quiet depth in my atmosphere so slow
stay in the ache, stay in the taste of you near
i’m wrapped in the fear of losing what i’m holding dear
[Bridge]
slow piano, a confession inches from a scream
bass hums like a memory you’ve never deemed
the night compounds the words i fear to voice
still i cradle your image, a fragile choice
[Chorus]
i don’t want to possess you, just can’t learn to let go
your absence carves a quiet depth in my atmosphere so slow
stay in the ache, stay in the taste of you near
i’m wrapped in the fear of losing what i’m holding dear
[Outro]
the heartbeat prints a rhythm through the air
i’m listening for you, everywhere
and if dawn forgets us, i’ll remember the fire
the soft inevitable you, my endless wire
