Verse 1 The morning light hits the kitchen floor I don't look at the clock anymore Your coat is hanging by the wooden chair Just knowing that you're here, just knowing you care I used to build walls out of stone and doubt Now I don't know what keeping guard is about. Chorus And oh, my heart learns how to breathe in the dark Catching every little, quiet, sweet spark I love the way you speak, I love how you stay Chasing all the heavy shadows away If everything else in the world should move on I'm holding your hand till the break of the dawn. Verse 2 We walk down the street in the freezing cold Your hand in my pocket, worth more than gold No need for fine words or a grand design Just you looking at me and your fingers in mine The noise of the city just fades to a hum This is the place I was always meant to come. Chorus And oh, my heart learns how to breathe in the dark Catching every little, quiet, sweet spark I love the way you speak, I love how you stay Chasing all the heavy shadows away If everything else in the world should move on I'm holding your hand till the break of the dawn. Bridge It isn't a flash or a sudden fire It's a steady song that goes higher and higher Like roots in the rain, like the earth to the tree You feel like home when you look at me.
