Lyric

Tuning Myself to Stay

Nollis Fen

Snaps in the dark

I hear my own pulse

I move a little softer

So I don't spill myself

I bend, not break

I give you room

But I keep my shape

In the middle of the room

I come close

Then I step back

I learn the line

Where love can last

A little less push

A little more grace

I tune my heart

To your warm pace

Tuning myself to stay

Tuning myself to stay

Close enough to hold you

Far enough to be me

Tuning myself to stay

Tuning myself to stay

I don't lose my center

When I meet you halfway

Your hands are kind

But I still listen in

To the old small voice

That tells me where I end

So I breathe slow

And I choose clear

I can want you near

Without disappearing here

I come close

Then I step back

I learn the line

Where love can last

A little less push

A little more grace

I tune my heart

To your warm pace

Tuning myself to stay

Tuning myself to stay

Close enough to hold you

Far enough to be me

Tuning myself to stay

Tuning myself to stay

I don't lose my center

When I meet you halfway

If the room goes quiet

I can hear what's true

Not every little shift

Means I'm losing you

I can change my angle

I can soften down

Still be the same whole soul

When I turn around

Tuning myself to stay

Tuning myself to stay

Close enough to hold you

Far enough to be me

Tuning myself to stay

Tuning myself to stay

I don't lose my center

When I meet you halfway

    Warm Enough to Answer

    Nollis Fen

"Drift & Warmth" is an analog soul / bedroom funk album that embraces imperfect reception
Nollis Fen does not sing perfectly arranged emotions
He sings kindness that never quite becomes words, longing that remains tangled in crossed signals, and body heat still quietly sounding beneath the noise
Not every true voice arrives cleanly
In fact, because the signal is unstable and the voice is slightly hard to catch, the listener leans in and listens more closely
That intimate distance becomes the warmth of Nollis Fen's music
