Lyric

I left the porch light low

To keep your shadow near

Two mugs on the table

One for you, one for fear

You said my name so quiet

Like it might break in two

I said, "Stay with this moment"

Let the night hold you

Hold my hand tonight

You do not have to shine

Breathe beside my voice

Till the edge turns kind

Hold my hand tonight

Let the hour pass slow

I will sit here close

Till your heart says so

The window has a cold breath

Tracing lines on the glass

Your shoulders made of weather

From a storm that came too fast

I move a chair near yours

And leave the room between

You can tell me nothing

And still mean everything

Hold my hand tonight

You do not have to shine

Breathe beside my voice

Till the edge turns kind

Hold my hand tonight

Let the hour pass slow

I will sit here close

Till your heart says so

Your laugh comes back in pieces

But it finds the air

A little bit of color

Flickers where you stare

I know the world can lean hard

And steal the ground from you

Still, your pulse keeps answering

Still, it pulls you through

If the room goes silent

I can be your thread

If the night gets heavy

Lean your head instead

Nothing here is perfect

But this touch is true

One small steady moment

I can give to you

Hold my hand tonight

You do not have to shine

Breathe beside my voice

Till the edge turns kind

Hold my hand tonight

Let the hour pass slow

I will sit here close

Till your heart says so

Morning will arrive slow

With blue along the floor

You will find your footing

One small step, then more

And if the dark comes back around

As it sometimes does

Remember this warm chair

Remember being loved
