Breath Between Our Names

Song Title: Breath Between Our Names

You call me in the quiet

Just my name

And then the rain outside

Your shadow on my doorway

Bare feet

Small suitcase

Tired eyes

I ask you “are you staying?”

You laugh and say “I never really left”

Your fingers on my heartbeat

Count the spaces where we held our breath

Stay

In the breath between our names

In the truth inside the pain

Don’t let go

Don’t let go (oh)

Lay

All your storms across my chest

Let your tears undo the rest

Hold me close

Hold me close

Till the morning knows our names

You tell me you’ve been drifting

Chasing comfort in a stranger’s smile

I tell you I’ve been waiting

Cooking for a ghost that took a while

Our history on your lips

My promise in your hands

We’re shaking

But we’re here now

Do we run

Or do we stand?

Stay

In the breath between our names

In the truth inside the pain

Don’t let go

Don’t let go (hey)

Lay

All your storms across my chest

Let your tears undo the rest

Hold me close

Hold me close

Till the morning knows our names

(Male) I’ve broken every mirror

Just to stop seeing my pride

(Female) I’ve spoken every silence

Just to drag you to my side

(Together) If love is just a choice

Then I choose you again

Every scar

Every secret

Every loss

Every win

Stay

In the breath between our names

In the truth inside the pain

Don’t let go

Don’t let go (oh yeah)

Lay

All your storms across my chest

Let your tears undo the rest

Hold me close

Hold me close

Till the morning knows our names

Whisper it softly

My name on your tongue

We’re older

A little broken

But this is where we’re young
