Tremble and Flame

[Intro] Soft tremble in the throat, a hush that won’t unglue Spark in the eyes, a dare that won’t come true [Verse 1] I feel the thunder when you walk in the room A wildfire choir humming, but I stay in the gloom My words melt like ice beneath your gaze I choose the silence, you become a blaze [Pre-Chorus] Heart says speak, hands forget how to move Time stretches thin, I’m losing the proof [Chorus] I love you loud in a whisper, loud in my breath A brave confession hiding in the shadow of a breath If courage is a river, I’m a boat adrift on it I’m swooning, I’m freezing, I’m learning to commit [Verse 2] Every heartbeat drums a thousand choirs anew But I’m stuck at the doorway, not stepping through The courage swells like a tide I can’t ride I worship from the threshold, with my secrets untied [Pre-Chorus] I reach for you, but gravity holds tight My voice is a kite tangled in the night [Chorus] I love you loud in a whisper, loud in my breath A brave confession hiding in the shadow of a breath If courage is a river, I’m a boat adrift on it I’m swooning, I’m freezing, I’m learning to commit [Bridge] Hold me close in the quiet, tell me it’s alright Let the words fall softly, burn away the night If fear is a door, I’ll learn its hinge and pry Till the truth of my heart doesn’t have to hide [Chorus] I love you loud in a whisper, loud in my breath A brave confession hiding in the shadow of a breath If courage is a river, I’m a boat adrift on it I’m swooning, I’m freezing, I’m learning to commit [Outro] Let the tremble become a vow I can keep Let the shy heart promise a love that’s mine to speak
