Held Close in the Hush (versie 2)

Verse

Salt air settles on your skin so slow

Steam curls up from the cup in tow

You tilt my chin and catch a drip of mine

Nothing here is urgent or fine

Palm fronds tapping soft outside the door

We let our breaths match, nothing more

Pre-Chorus

What's the hurry when it feels this wide?

Is the silence loud enough to hold us tonight?

Chorus

Held close in the hush where the ocean turns to gold

Nothing left we have to prove or hold

Verse

Your hand stays low on my spine, not a grip but a thread

The beach lights blink like fireflies ahead

Warm water laps at our ankles bare

We laugh at something neither one of us dares

Pre-Chorus

What's the hurry when it feels this wide?

Is the silence loud enough to hold us tonight?

Chorus

Held close in the hush where the ocean turns to gold

Nothing left we have to prove or hold

Bridge

The tide comes back, but I don't mind the wait

Every quiet hour still a kind of faith

Your thumb on my collarbone finds the beat

Right here, right now — there's no place we'd rather be

Chorus

Held close in the hush where the ocean turns to gold

Nothing left we have to prove or hold
