Hold the Low in Your Chest 2

Verse

Your hands land on my rib cage

Fingers tracing the space where air is meant to go

Nothing here to hold onto

Just the hum that your body keeps

Low in the chest, a current running

No weight but this steady pulling

You keep your eyes on mine as you press down

Like this is the only sound worth hearing now

I feel it travel up my spine like water

Not a rise or a fall, just this one note we're lending

Every inch of me folding in toward yours

This one beat where our hearts can't be sure

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear what I'm not saying?

Can you feel the low humming?

Is it only my body or are we both moving here?

Do you see this line that's drawing us near?

Chorus

Hold the low in your chest

Don't let go of the undertow

We don't need to breathe like anyone else

Just ride this current we've found here

Hold the low in your chest

Where nothing's sinking but our two hearts beating as one

Don't lose your place on the wave, I won't let go

Keep it down where the drum is calling us home

Verse

Your palm finds a hollow that's been empty for years

Fills it up with this steady pressure and warmth through all my tears

I've been carrying around a heavy stone in my chest

You're dropping it into the water, letting it rest at last

Every second you press down is another inch of space I find

This is not lifting but it's what I need to unwind

Your fingers move slow like the bassline we can't escape

Pushing deeper than any light that's ever been able to break through this shape

I don't know what day or year this started happening here

Only how every hour feels like less air and more of you each time it gets clearer

So I'll keep my hands up where yours are meant to be

Hold the low in your chest with me

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear what I'm not saying?

Can you feel the low humming?

Is it only my body or are we both moving here?

Do you see this line that's drawing us near?

Chorus

Hold the low in your chest

Don't let go of the undertow

We don't need to breathe like anyone else

Just ride this current we've found here

Hold the low in your chest

Where nothing's sinking but our two hearts beating as one

Don't lose your place on the wave, I won't let go

Keep it down where the drum is calling us home

Bridge

Let go of everything that wasn't here to start with

Every weight and worry just let them drift apart from this

Chorus

Hold the low in your chest

Don't let go of the undertow

We don't need to breathe like anyone else

Just ride this current we've found here

Hold the low in your chest

Where nothing's sinking but our two hearts beating as one

Don't lose your place on the wave, I won't let go

Keep it down where the drum is calling us home

Outro

Still there

Still holding

In the undertow
