[Verse 1] Your coat is on my shoulders though the room is warm Your friends keep filling glasses, calling out my name I catch my breath between the jokes and borrowed stories And feel the floor hold steady underneath the shame [Pre-Chorus] Every wrong turn’s stacked behind me, paper-thin But no one’s pulled the thread just yet [Chorus] For this one minute, I am loved For this one minute, I am here All these hands around my shoulders All this air inside my lungs And the cards are leaning, still they stand The whole house waits, but hasn’t fallen For this one minute, I am loved For this one minute, I am alive [Verse 2] Your sister asks me how I’ve been; I say, “I’m getting there” The kitchen clock keeps skipping past the things I hid You squeeze my wrist like you can read the answer there Then let me keep the quiet I can’t give [Pre-Chorus] Every wrong turn’s stacked behind me, paper-thin But no one’s pulled the thread just yet [Chorus] For this one minute, I am loved For this one minute, I am here All these hands around my shoulders All this air inside my lungs And the cards are leaning, still they stand The whole house waits, but hasn’t fallen For this one minute, I am loved For this one minute, I am alive [Bridge] I won’t call this clean I won’t call it safe I can hear the timber settling I can feel the borrowed grace If morning asks for every answer I’ll meet it face to face But tonight your hand is holding mine And I’m still in this place [Final Chorus] For this one minute, I am loved For this one minute, I am here All these hands around my shoulders All this air inside my lungs And the cards are leaning, still they stand The whole house waits, but hasn’t fallen For this one minute, I am loved For this one minute, I am alive [Outro] The room is warm, your coat is mine The cards still stand tonight
