Lyric

There’s a light in the kitchen at 2 a.m

Someone’s making tea so you can breathe again

Silent hands that wash the plates

Holding up the world you say you hate

There’s a message on your phone at 3:05

“Text me when you get home, so I know you’re alive”

Little things that disappear

But they’re the reasons you are here

Love is not the fireworks in the sky

It’s the quiet way it keeps you through the night

This is the shape of love

In every ordinary day you think is not enough

In every “call me when you land”

In every “take my hand”

It’s in the ones who stay when it gets rough

This is the shape of love

There’s a friend on a screen on the other side

Listening to the storm you’re trying hard to hide

Laughing just to break your fall

Saying, “you’re not crazy after all”

There’s a stranger on a train who meets your eyes

Gives a little nod like they can see inside

Two small humans passing by

Sharing one forgiving sky

Love is not the lines in movie scenes

It’s the quiet way it holds your broken seams

This is the shape of love

In every ordinary day you think is not enough

In every “text me when you’re home”

In every “you’re not alone”

It’s in the ones who stay when it gets rough

This is the shape of love

Every tear you never let them see

Every “I’m fine” whispered through your teeth

There is someone keeping watch tonight

Praying that you make it to the light

Maybe you don’t know their name just yet

Maybe it’s a love you haven’t met

Maybe it’s the way you’ll one day be

For someone else who’s on their knees

This is the shape of love

Not an angel, not a miracle from above

Just a person who will stay

When the colors fade to gray

A steady hand when you have had enough

This is the shape of love

In every “message me when you’re not so tough”

In every “stay, don’t disappear”

In every “I am here”

For anyone who feels they’re not enough

This is the shape of love

This is the shape of love
