Lyric

As we are

No more, no less

Morning light on your shoulder

Soft against the wall

Nothing feels uncertain now

Nothing feels too small

Your hand resting in mine

Steady, unafraid

Not reaching for tomorrow

Not reliving what we made

We’re not searching for language

Not trying to define

There’s no edge beneath us

No fault line

The air is clear and open

Not heavy with demand

Just the quiet understanding

Of your hand in my hand

No more running in circles

No more testing the line

No unfinished silence

Between yours and mine

As we are

Nothing to defend

As we are

No need to pretend

No dramatic promise

No vow in the dark

Just the steady rhythm

Of one quiet heart

As we are

No sudden change

No fragile distance

Left to rearrange

The night we crossed the boundary

Doesn’t need a name

We don’t wear it like a secret

We don’t call it flame

It settled into something

Warmer than before

Not a burning question

Not an open door

Your voice is lower now

But clearer than it’s been

No fear beneath the surface

No tremble in your skin

We’re not asking for forever

Not asking for a sign

Just letting what is certain

Quietly align

No more holding tension

Underneath the breath

No more guarding something

Close to death

Just the calm that follows

After we let go

If tomorrow moves slowly

We’ll let it begin

If it asks for nothing

We’ll let it in

There’s no need to promise

What we can’t foresee

We’re not clinging to a future

We’re simply free

As we are

Side by side

As we are

Nothing to hide

No grand declaration

No desperate plea

Just the space between us

Finally easy

As we are

Steady and clear

No need for forever

We’re already here

As we are

Still
