Fragile Harmony 2 (version 2)

Verse

Tightness in your shoulders, tension on the air

Every chord that rings out cuts right through it there

You breathe into my collarbone, slow as can be

I feel your heartbeat settle down where it used to ache like me

Your hand finds mine on the neck of the bass

Finger tracing the strings so softly till they hum a gentle yes

Ribs expand wide with a breath you hold

My fingers follow yours right down the fretboard cold

No one else in the room, no other sound

Just the resonance between us like we found our own ground

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is it the music pulling closer to your chest

Or maybe it's just my heartbeat that won't let you rest

Is it the hum of the guitar or maybe just the way I lean

In towards the beat and in towards where it feels

Chorus

Fragile harmony breaking open wide

Breaking down the tightness on our chest tonight

Every note we sing becomes a bridge

Between what's been stuck inside and a place that's free to breathe

We trade our breathing softly over low hums

And nothing gets loud enough to scare away

The fragile harmony moving in between us like a river

Picking up everything it needs from the way we give each other

Verse

Your palm slides down mine across the fretboard again

Slight touch sparking sparks that never used to fit within

The same five chords you learned a year ago

Suddenly ring out softer and more open somehow

No one else in the room, no clock ticking time

Just this one note we're hitting together and our two hearts humming in rhyme

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is it the music pulling closer to your chest

Or maybe it's just my heartbeat that won't let you rest

Is it the hum of the guitar or maybe just the way I lean

In towards the beat and in towards where it feels

Chorus

Fragile harmony breaking open wide

Breaking down the tightness on our chest tonight

Every note we sing becomes a bridge

Between what's been stuck inside and a place that's free to breathe

We trade our breathing softly over low hums

And nothing gets loud enough to scare away

The fragile harmony moving in between us like a river

Picking up everything it needs from the way we give each other

Bridge

No more holding onto something we can't control

Only this right here, only this gentle gold

Not the chords that ring out, not your eyes that shine

Just this quiet breath you're sharing with mine

Let go of all the words that used to mean so much

There's nothing left to say because it's understood in the touch

Chorus

Fragile harmony breaking open wide

Breaking down the tightness on our chest tonight

Every note we sing becomes a bridge

Between what's been stuck inside and a place that's free to breathe

We trade our breathing softly over low hums

And nothing gets loud enough to scare away

The fragile harmony moving in between us like a river

Picking up everything it needs from the way we give each other
