[Verse 1] Moonlight through the blinds maps my skin in white stripes Damp hair on your neck where I can't stop tracing lines You move slow and heavy like a secret kept too long The mattress holds our heartbeat as we hum along I know this morning comes with its clean break light So I hold you tighter while the day stays out of sight Sweat follows my spine in a quiet, salt path south Every breath feels borrowed; every touch like a vow [Pre-Chorus] Watch your shadow lean against the wall Catch yourself before you let it fall The air is getting thick with what we won't say yet We hold our hands inside this velvet net [Chorus] Sweat and silk in a room gone still You are the fever I don't want to kill I map your body like a constellation home Before the sun turns cold what we have into bone Sweat and silk on my spine where you lay me down The only sacred ground left in this town [Verse 2] You read me like a poem I didn't mean to write Your pulse under my thumb through the blue of night The sheet is heavy now with salt and what we are Two bodies learning gravity by staying where they are I press my forehead hard against your shoulder blade Counting every second that the dark has made We talk in glances, soft as dust on a shelf Each touch takes some of me; each breath leaves itself [Pre-Chorus] Watch your shadow lean against the wall Catch yourself before you let it fall The air is getting thick with what we won't say yet We hold our hands inside this velvet net [Chorus] Sweat and silk in a room gone still You are the fever I don't want to kill I map your body like a constellation home Before the sun turns cold what we have into bone Sweat and silk on my spine where you lay me down The only sacred ground left in this town [Bridge] Whisper it to me so I know it is real That morning pulls us apart, that's the deal You are borrowed time, a map folded wrong I am memorizing you where we both belong The mattress holds your heartbeat, steady then fast A secret written in this sheet, built not to last [Final Chorus] Sweat and silk in a room gone still You are the fever I won't let go until I map your body like a constellation home And keep you in my blood when we reach the dawn alone Sweat and silk on my spine where you lay me down The only sacred ground left in this town [Outro] The sheet is damp; your name stays low Moonlight through blinds watches us go
