Carve the Current (versie 2)

Verse

Steel door swinging where the fjord lights bend

Your hand on my collarbone again

Three weeks running but I don't count the days

We're the only ones that stay awake at bay

Rust and saltwater on your shoulders bare

Every pulse a river that you pull me through there

Pre-Chorus

Say it once before the cold gets deep

Tell me if this winter is where we sleep

Something in the dark still wants to break free

Feel it rising from beneath my knees

Chorus

Carve the current, don't let go of the line

Cut through silver ice and into your eyes tonight

Every breath a river that we're never crossing back

This is how the fire stays lit when the world turns black

Verse 2

Your father's journal hidden under the floorboards here

Lines on paper written in a language I don't fear

Ice caves collapsing far out where the glaciers end

We're making our own tide against the wind that never bends

Fingertips locked like a promise carved in stone

Nothing out there is as heavy as what we've been shown

Pre-Chorus

Say it once before the cold gets deep

Tell me if this winter is where we sleep

Something in the dark still wants to break free

Feel it rising from beneath my knees

Chorus

Carve the current, don't let go of the line

Cut through silver ice and into your eyes tonight

Every breath a river that we're never crossing back

This is how the fire stays lit when the world turns black

Bridge

One storm season's not enough to break the mold

I'd spend eternity with you in this frozen gold

No chains can bind us down behind these gates of stone

We'll carve our names before the morning comes alone

Ice will fall but we don't need it to survive

We're the ones who made this winter turn alive

Chorus

Carve the current, don't let go of the line

Cut through silver ice and into your eyes tonight

Every breath a river that we're never crossing back

This is how the fire stays lit when the world turns black
