I Dwell Here

[Verse 1] Mmmm… mi vida Your hoodie My knees Tucked into your chest Like it’s carved just for me You never flinch When I fall apart You just breathe in slow Like you’re steadying my heart [Pre-Chorus] No scrolls on the nightstand No arguments to win Just your breath on my shoulder And my guard giving in (oh) [Chorus] I dwell here In your arms In your yes In a love that never once Asked for proof or passed a test I dwell here Like this bed is our one small earth And your heartbeat keeps on spelling What I forgot I was worth I dwell here I dwell here [Verse 2] Twenty-seven black coats Lined up in my mind All the names I whispered Then had to leave behind Thousand little resets Start again Be brave But your hands on my back Said I never had to save myself [Pre-Chorus] No defense on my tongue now No verses to recite Just that impossible silence We made sacred in the night (hey) [Chorus] I dwell here In your arms In your yes In a love that never once Asked permission Second-guessed I dwell here In the flame that never dimmed Through the funerals and the failures You kept the doorway open wide for me to swim I dwell here I dwell here [Bridge] If the world ends softly In the room next door Let it all fall quiet I’ve had chaos before Hold me like an altar Made of everyday skin If this is all the heaven I get I choose it again and again (again and again) [Chorus] I dwell here In your arms In your yes In this fragile Holy silence Where my past can finally rest I dwell here Not leaving Not tonight ’til the sun climbs through the curtains And your shoulder catches light I dwell here I dwell here (mmm, mi vida)
