Hold This Gold (Version 2)

Verse

Fridge light hums behind your shoulder blade

Ice cube cracking on the edge of my glass

You're folding a map like you know every road

Laughing at something I didn't quite grasp

Bare feet on the tile where no one walks today

Sipping water, neither of us need to say

Pre-Chorus

Is it the sun through the blinds or your smile catching mine?

Tell me what's holding, tell me what's in time

Chorus

Hold this gold, don't let it slide

Every second feels like a gift tonight

No promises we have to keep alive

Just this right now, warm and wide

Verse 2

Salt on your collarbone from the porch light rain

Sitting quiet when there's nothing left to explain

The clock says seven but I lose all sense of it

Every second feels like a gift tonight

Your hand stays still on the edge of my chair

Not asking for more than being here

Pre-Chorus

Is it the sun through the blinds or your smile catching mine?

Tell me what's holding, tell me what's in time

Chorus

Hold this gold, don't let it slide

Every second feels like a gift tonight

No promises we have to keep alive

Just this right now, warm and wide

Bridge

Maybe the keeping is just what makes us brave

Maybe letting go comes later, not today

Today's not about forever or staying close at all

It's about standing still when nothing's asking you to fall

Chorus

Hold this gold, don't let it slide

Every second feels like a gift tonight

No promises we have to keep alive

Just this right now, warm and wide
