[Intro]
A pale streetlamp hums in the rain, waiting for a sign.
[Verse 1]
Footsteps echo on wet bricks, a memory slips through the night
The window breathes with foggy light, where yesterday feels right
I chase a whisper through the shutters, half-remembered in the mist
Soft promises like moths collide—am I really listening?
[Chorus]
Hold on to a shadow, let it teach you how to breathe
In the quiet, questions linger, but hope still takes the lead
If the dawn forgets the map, we’ll trace it with our hands
Longing for a doorway that opens when we understand
[Verse 2]
A clock forgets its minutes; time folds like creased map lines
I gather trembles of a lullaby, a courage that won’t resign
The street becomes a journal, each drizzle writes a name we miss
Yet somewhere in the pause between breaths, we find a cautious wish
[Chorus]
Hold on to a shadow, let it teach you how to breathe
In the quiet, questions linger, but hope still takes the lead
If the dawn forgets the map, we’ll trace it with our hands
Longing for a doorway that opens when we understand
[Bridge]
If this night is only a rumor, let it unfold as a vow
To walk the uncertain road together, not asking for how or now
[Chorus]
Hold on to a shadow, let it teach you how to breathe
In the quiet, questions linger, but hope still takes the lead
If the dawn forgets the map, we’ll trace it with our hands
Longing for a doorway that opens when we understand
[Outro]
The rain slows to a sigh, the street lamp dims into dawn
We linger at the edge of certainty, where longing becomes a song
