[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, light percussion] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals] I dreamt of you last night So real it scared my chest Morning came this room stayed blind You're not here and it hurts My coffee acts the brave today I don't fake it half as well We'll do this love no drama just us In time to tell [Chorus] [bass and full drums enter] Naomi lives in Kenya I'm waking up in Canada Seven years caught in the dust of soon and maybe and blah blah this year our first real kiss Like a sentence finally done we never dropped the rope we hold even when it all fell gone [electric guitar enters with overdriven chords] Two countries same heartbeat Two winters one small flame Your voice came 'cross the ocean I don't care if it's late We choose each other not by magic But effort truth and something simple We bend the time we bend the space We stitch the parts that break and ripple And music hold us upright a small lamp in the dark Soon our lips will be live again No delay no brittle goodbye [Verse 2] [piano chords enter] The lost days make a noise like keys stuck in the bag We counted borders like bruises like punts we didn't brag But when you laugh inside my phone winter drops its every pride I made peace with all that cold and put our hope back in the middle Customs ask me reason I say because me breathe My heart shows its papers you smile and let it speak [Bridge] [strings enter, building intensity] Seven years down is too long for two souls that recognize So we rise like the sun and the world adjusts its light When light comes back for me I'll let a song answer first It says your name without shouting and I keep holding on [Chorus] [full arrangement, high energy] We choose each other not by magic I have never been so sure of something simple We bend the time we bend the space We stitch the parts that break and ripple And music hold us upright a small lamp in the dark Soon our lips will be live again No delay no brittle goodbye [Outro] [vocal ad-libs] No brittle goodbye No brittle goodbye No brittle goodbye [final acoustic guitar strum]
