Verse
Kettle steam curls where the speaker was loud
Two cups cooling on the windowsill
Curtain lifts once, lets the grey come through
Your thumb still traces where my wrist stayed still
Floor gives up its heat one board at a time
Ice melts slow in a glass we forgot
Your breath finds mine, matches down to the beat
Even quiet keeps the rhythm we caught
Pre-Chorus
We let the numbers on the clock go blind
We trade the tempo for a slower kind
Four more breaths till the room turns bright
We stay right here on the edge of light
Chorus
Hold this hour still
Hold this hour still
Nothing moves but the steam and the wall
Hold this hour still
Verse
Candle gutters low against the pane
Wax runs soft where the flame bent thin
Your pulse slows down to the fading kick
Mine finds it, follows, settles in
Chair legs creak with the weight we left
Jacket slipped from your shoulder, stayed
Morning leans on the glass outside
We keep it out a little longer, unafraid
Pre-Chorus
We let the numbers on the clock go blind
We trade the tempo for a slower kind
Four more breaths till the room turns bright
We stay right here on the edge of light
Chorus
Hold this hour still
Hold this hour still
Nothing moves but the steam and the wall
Hold this hour still
Bridge
Somewhere a door clicks somewhere far
Somewhere the world starts turning again
Not here, not yet, the kettle's gone cold
Your hand stays curled inside of mine
Chorus
Hold this hour still
Hold this hour still
Nothing moves but the steam and the wall
Hold this hour still
