[Verse 1] [upbeat and dancing] Morning spills in soft blue across the glass and the fear I haven’t named yet keeps tapping at the latch In a room full of faces I lose my step too fast but I still catch your sneakers cutting a path through the crowd at last [Pre-Chorus] Every time the water rises something small in me starts to tremble at the center like a loose thread pulled too tight If you’re with me I can cross the room even on the days I wake up feeling pulled in two [Chorus] You’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake you’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake With you beside me I don’t have to make it look okay You’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake you’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake I don’t sink under I let it carry me [Verse 2] On the days things start to split on the days I go quiet first you stand there in front of me like you already know the first word hurts With wet shoes on I walked into the sand and you didn’t haul me out you just held the edge where I could stand [Pre-Chorus] Every time I look up and the sky won’t hold still I take one hard breath and loosen my grip on the sill Your voice kept pulling me back not to who I was before just to the place my feet can land [Chorus] You’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake you’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake With you beside me I don’t have to make it look okay You’re the tether when I start to drift you’re the tether when I start to drift I don’t sink under I let it carry me [Bridge] Even if the road breaks even if I go thin one look from you and I stitch myself back in I can say it now I was scared to be seen right in my chest you left a space for me [Final Chorus] You’re the tether when I start to drift you’re the tether when I start to drift With you beside me I can feel the ground again You’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake you’re the thread I reach for when I start to shake I don’t sink under I let it carry me You’re the tether when I start to drift you’re the tether when I start to drift You are here and I can breathe
