Hold This Hour Still (versione 2)

Verse

Kettle steam curls where the speaker was loud

Two cups cooling on the windowsill

Curtain lifts once, lets the grey come through

Your thumb still traces where my wrist stayed still

Floor gives up its heat one board at a time

Ice melts slow in a glass we forgot

Your breath finds mine, matches down to the beat

Even quiet keeps the rhythm we caught

Pre-Chorus

We let the numbers on the clock go blind

We trade the tempo for a slower kind

Four more breaths till the room turns bright

We stay right here on the edge of light

Chorus

Hold this hour still

Hold this hour still

Nothing moves but the steam and the wall

Hold this hour still

Verse

Candle gutters low against the pane

Wax runs soft where the flame bent thin

Your pulse slows down to the fading kick

Mine finds it, follows, settles in

Chair legs creak with the weight we left

Jacket slipped from your shoulder, stayed

Morning leans on the glass outside

We keep it out a little longer, unafraid

Pre-Chorus

We let the numbers on the clock go blind

We trade the tempo for a slower kind

Four more breaths till the room turns bright

We stay right here on the edge of light

Chorus

Hold this hour still

Hold this hour still

Nothing moves but the steam and the wall

Hold this hour still

Bridge

Somewhere a door clicks somewhere far

Somewhere the world starts turning again

Not here, not yet, the kettle's gone cold

Your hand stays curled inside of mine

Chorus

Hold this hour still

Hold this hour still

Nothing moves but the steam and the wall

Hold this hour still
