The room stays still when I move
Air feels counted slow and exact
My phone facedown on the table
Like it knows I won’t look back

Hours fold into each other
No sharp edges no release
I don’t miss someone specific
I just miss how silence feels

Loneliness isn’t loud
It doesn’t need a scene
It waits until everything stops
And asks me what I mean
Loneliness stays close
Not heavy not kind
Just the shape of being here
With too much time

Walls keep doing what they do
Holding space without a sign
Every thought arrives unfinished
Leaves before it makes a line

I hear life somewhere ongoing
Not mine but near enough
I don’t reach for explanations
I’m already full of them

Loneliness isn’t loud
It never begs or pleads
It sits beside the moment
And lets it be what it is
Loneliness knows my pace
Never pulls never leads
Just walks the length of the night
At the speed I need

If this hour had a voice
It wouldn’t try to stay
It would tell me nothing’s broken
Then quietly move away

Loneliness isn’t loud
It doesn’t ask for proof
It’s not the end of something
It’s just the pause I move through
Loneliness fades on its own
When the timing is right
I don’t solve it tonight
I just let it pass the time

Morning is doing its job
Somewhere I don’t need to see
This night doesn’t owe me answers
It just keeps me company

I walked too far to start again
But too close to turn away
The sky didn't open —
But I moved anyway

Heartbeat aligned with the sound
Footsteps lost never found

I don’t speak to the wind anymore
It never stayed to listen
But you —
You stayed quiet…
And I heard everything

Time doesn’t fold like a map
We stretch with every turn
The world spins without asking
But we — we learn

And if the tide forgets my name
Let it
I only needed the pull

I woke to a sound that wasn’t there
The world was still but something stirred

Your name was carved in quiet places
Not in stone — but in the way
The kettle clicks the curtain moves
And silence starts to sway

It’s not the wind it’s not the rain
It’s every pause I can't explain
It’s you beneath the surface
It’s you without a name

I never learned to hold the stillness
Always filled the space with noise
But now I count the absent seconds
Like they were stolen joys

It’s not the sound it’s not the flame
It’s everything that won’t remain
It’s you beneath the surface
It’s you without a name

So I sit in the in-between
And feel what I can’t see
Under the surface
You’re still shaping me

Your laugh carves through the haze
Like sunlight in a frozen frame
I walked the road of fire and blades
Traced the letters of your name

Through storms that raged and skies that bled
Every fight every word unsaid

I carry your love like a shield I wear (a fortress unbroken)
Through the fight through despair you're always there (my constant flame)
No chain can bind no storm can tear (unyielding undying)
You're the reason I breathe this air

A fleeting glance the spark remains
In the shadows your light sustains

You held me close when the dark would call
Fingers traced where my fears would crawl
Every stumble was a climb to fall
Every smile was the reason for it all
(the reason for it all)

We bent but never broke in two
Each wound healed stronger thanks to you

I carry your love like a shield I wear (a fortress unbroken)
Through the fight through despair you're always there (my constant flame)
No chain can bind no storm can tear (unyielding undying)
You're the reason I breathe this air

Through the ashes through the fire
You’re the spark my sole desire

The fight may end the road may turn
But for your love my heart will burn

City hums like a quiet storm
Footsteps weave through a sleepless dawn
Glass reflections stories untold
Fingers trace where the night unfolds

Every face a fleeting spark
Moments slipping in the dark
Silent currents pull me near
Waves of time dissolve my fear

Weightless drifting through the tide
No more anchors left to fight
Let the world just spin away
Lost in motion here I’ll stay

Faint reminders on a silver screen
Ghosts of places I’ve never been
Threads of voices tangled tight
Falling forward into light

Every face a fleeting spark
Moments slipping in the dark
Silent currents pull me near
Waves of time dissolve my fear

Weightless drifting through the tide
No more anchors left to fight
Let the world just spin away
Lost in motion here I’ll stay

Not a dream not a memory
Only now is calling me
Gravity is letting go
Now I finally know

City hums like a quiet storm
Footsteps fade but I'm reborn

Thoughts collide as I reflect
Searching for what I can't connect
Every chord brings back your smile
But it's just an empty aisle

Time keeps moving yet I'm here
Holding on to what was dear
Words unspoken cloud my view
Moments lost but still feel you

Hey can you hear me?
I'm lost in the sound
Gripping tight can't let go
Of the warmth of you
Will I find my way through?

Every twist brings back your name
Searching for a spark to reclaim
But I breathe I choose to dance
Finding strength in every chance

Letting go of what we've known
Building paths where love has grown
Every heartbeat every sound
New stories waiting to be found

Hey can you hear me?
I'm lost in the sound
Gripping tight can't let go
Of the warmth of you
Will I find my way through?

I walk in sweet like candy on a late night street
Everybody turning just to get a little heat
You keep staring like you know my name
But the way you blush tells me everything
I move slow then I change the beat
Got you losing track of both your feet
You say you never fall that fast
Guess I just turned it up at last

You try to play it cool with your look so calm
But your heartbeat’s louder than the song

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

You keep tripping on your words like a broken rhyme
Saying every little line for another try
You want rhythm so I bring the spark
Got you glowing like a city after dark
I tease slow then I shift the flow
Now you follow everywhere I go
Tell me how you planned your night
I can change it in a single bite

You try to play it cool with your look so calm
But your heartbeat’s louder than the song

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

Sip a little moment slow it right down
Let me spin your world around
If you want another dose of the sound
Come close and I will take you now

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

(do not be afraid this is not fm)

You used to call me late night
Hope I ain't just your late night
When can I see you again?
So sorry I'm not a pain
Um (but)

I been workin' nine to five (ask me baby)
Smokin' bomb on my free time (light it baby)
Keep that love on my mind (kiss me baby)
Keep that love (K-I-S-S kiss me)
Makin' music all the time (mister radio play it play it)
Hit a milli and I'll cry (ooh my audience so loud)
Growin' up with the mic (fallin' steady fall watch it)
I can stay low

But when my song comes on
That's when I get so confident
Ooh
I put my own words in my mouth
And yes
I'm saying it out loud
That when my song comes on
I make my mama proud of me
Growin' up loving me (uh)
Hold up
Wait
Watch it
Look
Uh

Seventeen
I'm on a stage singin'
Haze off the coast
Eighteen in the city
Still hidin'
From the snow
Jumpin' down 85
When I'm driving home
Levitate for no reason
Cus' they changed the seasons

Makin' music all the time (oh)
Keep a milli on my mind (oh)
Growin' up with the mic (oh yes hunny)
I could stay low

But when my song comes on
That's when I get so confident
Ooh
I put my own words in my mouth
And yes
I'm saying it out loud
That when my song comes on
I make my mama proud of me
Growin' up loving me
Hold up
Wait
Watch it
Look

You said I make it hard to help me
And you weren't wrong you weren't wrong
I said you disappear inside a job
And you knew that too

I heard it and I wanted to fight it
Every word of it was true
That's the worst kind of argument
The one you lose to somebody you love

Nobody won the kitchen tonight
And nobody's leaving

Turns out both of us were right
Turns out that's the hardest part
You can't beat a person
When you're on the same side of the wall
Both of us were right
So both of us have work to do
And I'd rather do the work in here
Than be right without you

(both of us both of us)

I'll say the thing before it gets heavy

I'll leave the phone in the other room

Small repairs not grand gestures
That's how a house stays up

Turns out both of us were right
Turns out that's the hardest part
You can't beat a person
When you're on the same side of the wall
Both of us were right
So both of us have work to do
And I'd rather do the work in here
Than be right without you

We're not the couple in the film
Who scream and then it's fine
We're the ones who write it down
And actually do it this time

Turns out both of us were right
Turns out that's the hardest part
You can't beat a person
When you're on the same side of the wall
Both of us were right
So both of us have work to do
And I'd rather do the work in here
Than be right without you

Both of us were right
(both of us both of us)

At seven the glass doors learn the street by name
sale tags turn slowly in the conditioned air
someone leaves a blue scarf folded out of place
and the mirror keeps pretending not to stare

A clerk counts coins like small weather
one by one into a paper tray
the fitting rooms exhale together
as the weekday loosens its display

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Perfume cards sleep beside the counter
shoes line up like they know the floor
outside taxis change their colors
inside no one needs to want more

A coat on a hanger turns human
for a second in the corner light
I almost ask it where it's going
then I let it keep the night

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Not every song should chase the ceiling
not every room should ask for rain
some evenings only need a rhythm
folded neatly with a name

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

The last receipt curls by the drawer
one small moon on the floor
after seven after seven
nothing asks to be more
