Between Your Breath and Sunrise (версия 2)

Verse

Your ribs rise slow against my palm

Counting four, then four again

Fan blades turning, ceiling calm

Curtains breathe with the window screen

Floor still warm from an hour ago

Bass long gone but my pulse won't drop

Your breath is the only clock I know

Telling me when to start, when to stop

Pre-Chorus

We count the seconds, let them stall

Nobody moves, nobody falls

The dark gets thin around the wall

We hold this breath before it's gone

Chorus

Your breath holds back the sunrise

Your breath holds back the sunrise

I stay right here inside the pause

Your breath holds back the sunrise

Verse

Grey light finds the edge of the sheet

Your chest still rising under my hand

Somewhere the city starts to breathe

But we're not ready, not yet, not planned

Lashes flicker, catching gold

Half a whisper, half a yawn

I press my ear where your heartbeat's slow

Stealing seconds from the dawn

Pre-Chorus

We count the seconds, let them stall

Nobody moves, nobody falls

The dark gets thin around the wall

We hold this breath before it's gone

Chorus

Your breath holds back the sunrise

Your breath holds back the sunrise

I stay right here inside the pause

Your breath holds back the sunrise

Bridge

One more inhale, one more hush

One more minute we don't rush

Light keeps climbing up the wall

Still I feel you breathing slow

Every rise, every fall

Keeps the morning off the wall

I don't check the window's glow

I just breathe with you, so slow

Chorus

Your breath holds back the sunrise

Your breath holds back the sunrise

I stay right here inside the pause

Your breath holds back the sunrise
