(Verse 1) There's a silence learning how to speak In the space between the strong and weak I've been holding onto shapes of sound Waiting for the ground to turn around (Pre-Chorus) And maybe I don't need the answer Just a reason to stay near Something soft enough to carry Through the static, through the clear (Chorus) So I'll follow where the light leans Further than these tired scenes Not too loud, not overflowing Just a quiet fire, slowly growing I don't need the sky to open wide Just a little truth I can't deny (Verse 2) Every distance has its own design Some are miles, some are just a line I've been counting all the in-betweens Learning what devotion really means (Pre-Chorus) And maybe I don't need the ending Just a moment that feels true Something steady, unpretending Close enough to see me through (Chorus) So I'll follow where the light leans Further than these tired scenes Not too loud, not overflowing Just a quiet fire, slowly growing I don't need the sky to open wide Just a little truth I can't deny (Bridge) Maybe I was always half-arriving Half a voice too shy to rise But something in this hour is reviving Something patient, something wise (Final Chorus – slightly more open) So I'll follow where the light leans Softer now, but it still means Everything I couldn't say before Standing quiet at an open door I don't need the sky to open wide I just needed this — to feel alive
