THE DRAGONFLIES LANDED [Verse 1 – Female] Yesterday they were beating in my chest Little wild wings wouldn’t let me rest Driving toward a moment I could only see In every little dream of you and me I thought they’d scatter when I saw your face Thought fear might follow me into that place Then you wrapped your arms around me and Every restless wing knew where to land [Male] I had mine too, I just hid ’em well Wondering if real life would break the spell Then you walked in and everything went still Same woman I loved, only now you were real Your hand found mine like it knew the way Six hours disappeared inside one day All that nervous flying finally stopped When you sat beside me and my whole heart dropped [Pre-Chorus – Together] We weren’t looking for butterflies We’d already survived too much for that Ours had stronger wings Ours knew how to find their way back [Chorus – Together] The dragonflies landed Right there between your hand and mine All those wings that kept on racing Finally ran out of sky The dragonflies landed No more wondering what we’d find We didn’t fall apart when we touched We fell into place this time They flew through every fear we had Till there was nowhere left to run The dragonflies landed And somehow we became home [Verse 2 – Female] I thought I’d cry the second I saw you Instead I smiled like my soul already knew I wanted every kiss, I just didn’t know How to forget the walls and let myself go Now I’m home wishing I could smell your skin Wishing my hand was in your hand again Funny how yesterday I feared the truth Today the only thing I fear is missing you [Male] I thought maybe you ain’t wanna kiss me Didn’t know the room was what made you uneasy I just wanted to stay all in your face Hold onto every second, every taste When they said it was time, I ain’t wanna leave Almost cried over something I used to not believe Now your scent’s still hanging onto me And I’m holding onto what today made real to me [Chorus – Together] The dragonflies landed Right there between your hand and mine All those wings that kept on racing Finally ran out of sky The dragonflies landed No more wondering what we’d find We didn’t fall apart when we touched We fell into place this time They flew through every fear we had Till there was nowhere left to run The dragonflies landed And somehow we became home [Bridge – Female] Maybe landing doesn’t mean the journey’s done Maybe it means you finally found someone Worth folding your wings beside [Male] Maybe home ain’t always walls and keys Maybe sometimes home is somebody who sees Every broken part and stays [Female] I found you. [Male] You found me. [Together] And the wings got quiet that day. [Final Chorus – Together] The dragonflies landed After everything we’ve survived Two hearts that learned to keep on flying Finally didn’t have to hide The dragonflies landed And nothing disappeared when we touched Everything we’d said before that day Somehow became real to us So if tomorrow makes us fly again I know exactly where I’ll come Back to the hands that held me Back to the place my heart calls home The dragonflies landed The dragonflies landed And baby— so did we. Still SHINE & Capo always
