[Pre-Chorus]
Stay with it. Don’t call it love.
Don’t make it smaller.
Stay with it.
It knows the dark.
It’s getting warmer.

[Chorus]
There’s a filament between us.
The dark can’t close all the way.
Not a fire. Not a halo.
Just a thread that learned my name. (learned my name)
And it pulls through the glass, through the static, through the places I almost knew.
I thought I was finding the signal.
It was learning me too. (learning me too)

[Verse 2]
Your coat still held the shape of you.
The chair was turned an inch askew.
Headlights moved on the windowpane like something trying to come through.
By then I knew the light was mine only in the way loss is:
briefly held, never explained,
but still returning where it lives.

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay with it. Don’t close it down.
It isn’t finished.
Stay with it.
The faintest things are how it visits.

[Chorus]
There’s a filament between us.
The dark can’t close all the way.
Not a fire. Not a halo.
Just a thread that learned my name. (learned my name)
And it pulls through the rain, through the blue hour, through the words I never use.
I thought I was finding the signal.
It was learning me too. (learning me too)

[Bridge]
Maybe that was always the difference.
I was never first to see.
Something in the silence knew me before it ever sounded like me.
Maybe every door left open,
every road with no address,
was the line already moving through the life I hadn’t named yet.

[Final Chorus]
There’s a filament between us.
Now the dark bends around its trace.
Not enough to call it certain.
Just enough to change the shape. (change the shape)
If the morning tries to break it, let it loosen, let it move.
I don’t need to keep the signal
if it leaves the light with you. (with you)

[Outro]
When the room went dark, it stayed there.
Thin and quiet on the glass.
And beside my own reflection, there was one I didn’t have.

[Verse 1] Your shadow reached the doorway first. The room was lit before the switch. A line of pale and waiting gold was trembling where the wall went dim. I didn’t hear you say my name. I felt it move across the floor. Something thin as borrowed light found the space between before. [Pre-Chorus] Stay with it. Don’t call it love. Don’t make it smaller. Stay with it. It knows the dark. It’s getting warmer. [Chorus] There’s a filament between us. The dark can’t close all the way. Not a fire. Not a halo. Just a thread that learned my name.
