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
