[Verse 1] You measure the bend where the bright line leans A quiet rule in the space between One small charge, one turning mass A river of numbers moving past [Chorus] Hold to the curve, let the orbit roll D in the dust, D in the soul No changing ground beneath our feet Just a different count inside the beat [Verse 2] Water keeps a memory under the skin Pairs draw close, then drift again A silver bead on the edge of a flame The shape stays still while the measures change [Chorus] Hold to the curve, let the orbit roll D in the dust, D in the soul No changing ground beneath our feet Just a different count inside the beat [Bridge] At the turning point, the old signs divide A long tail falls where the numbers hide Seven steps out, six steps home One steady center, never alone [Outro] You trace the curve, I follow the line The same deep anchor, a different time
