Lyric

In the blue hour, your window glows

Like a slow lantern under skin

The kettle sighs, the room turns gold

And the old ache starts to thin

Your coat on the chair

Like a story left to dry

A careful heart in a noisy place

Still reaching for a kinder sky

The day leaves marks on every brow

From the grind, from the hurry, from the strain

But your chest keeps a secret door

That opens through the rain

Breathe out the weight

Let the dark unwind

Every rough edge

Turns soft with time

If the world gets sharp

And the edges bite

There’s a quiet thread

Pulling you right

Soft and steady

Stay soft and steady

Soft and steady

You are getting ready

Slow and shining

Stay slow and shining

Soft and steady

Tonight is kind and bright

(Soft and steady)

(Stay soft and steady)

On the crowded floor, the talk runs wild

And the clocks all swing like a restless gate

One wrong word, one hard-lit glance

Can turn a sweet thing into weight

So keep your smile

Like a hidden spark

Not every blaze

Needs to leave a mark

Let the loud ones rush

Let the sharp ones pass

You can move like water

Through broken glass

Breathe out the weight

Let the dark unwind

Every rough edge

Turns soft with time

If the world gets sharp

And the edges bite

There’s a quiet thread

Pulling you right

Soft and steady

Stay soft and steady

Soft and steady

You are getting ready

Slow and shining

Stay slow and shining

Soft and steady

Tonight is kind and bright

(Soft and steady)

(Stay soft and steady)

By the open square, the kids run free

And the elders smile with a knowing grace

Different shoes, different songs, same beat

Same warm light across the face

Some carry roses in their speech

Some carry iron in their hands

Some have just enough to give away

But still they find a way to stand

The smallest lamp in a humble room

Can answer a storm outside

So every age can find its tune

And keep its flame alive

Breathe out the weight

Let the dark unwind

Every rough edge

Turns soft with time

If the world gets sharp

And the edges bite

There’s a quiet thread

Pulling you right

Soft and steady

Stay soft and steady

Soft and steady

You are getting ready

Slow and shining

Stay slow and shining

Soft and steady

Tonight is kind and bright

(Soft and steady)

(Stay soft and steady)

When the love in the room feels shy

Like a bird at the edge of a hand

Don’t chase it through the heavy air

Let it land where it can

A gentle note in a crowded room

Can change the way a whole night breathes

One honest word, one patient step

Can grow a field of leaves

And if your trust gets bruised

By a careless spark

You can mend the seam

With a quieter heart

Breathe out the weight

Let the dark unwind

Every rough edge

Turns soft with time

If the world gets
