Say It Out Loud (version 2)

Verse

Tuesday at noon you called me out from the rain

Said forget every lesson that I learned in vain

I said what's next because my hands were empty still

You laughed and said we don't need a plan for this

Your truck was parked behind a chain-link fence

Fog machine humming on the back seat, no defense

We took one turn before you knew where we'd end

Chasing something neither of us can defend

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding you now that the road is clear?

Is it me or just your fear?

Chorus

Say it out loud, don't hold your breath

This might be falling into something we can't check

We never mapped this out to begin with

So why do we need a reason, why are we so still?

Verse 2

Six months later and the fog machine's gone

Your hand still finds mine when we drive home alone

You quit your job for a small town cafe

I was the one who kept you up till midnight and said 'let it be

The whole town knows our names by now

They wave like they're counting down to something new

We got a map but it keeps getting torn

Every mile marker feels like we already knew

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding you now that the road is clear?

Is it me or just your fear?

Chorus

Say it out loud, don't hold your breath

This might be falling into something we can't check

We never mapped this out to begin with

So why do we need a reason, why are we so still?

Bridge

Maybe love's not supposed to make sense at all

Maybe the good ones only learn how to fall

Not from some safe place where nothing lands

But from the drop and the catching of your hands

I won't say forever cause I don't know what that means

But right now feels like a language that just makes sense

Chorus

Say it out loud, don't hold your breath

This might be falling into something we can't check

We never mapped this out to begin with

So why do we need a reason, why are we so still?
