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
