[Intro] [Brief felt piano and fingerpicked guitar] [Verse 1] Daylight finds the kitchen window, Unpaid bills beside the bread. I say, “Fine,” before you ask me; You hear everything unsaid. You just leave your hand beside mine, Let the quiet see us through. I've been holding up the ceiling; Now I'm leaning into you. [Pre-Chorus] I thought strength meant never breaking, Never letting someone see. But you stayed there through the shaking, Till my breath came back to me. [Chorus] You can rest here too, Lay the weight down, let me hold you. Steady as the tide, We can take this breath together. When the night won't let you through, You don't have to carry two. I've been finding rest in you— You can rest here too. [Verse 2] Last night you went still beside me, Coffee cooling in your hands. All the words you couldn't give me, I was learning to understand. So I moved a little closer, Let my shoulder meet your head. “You don't have to be my shelter,” Was the only thing I said. [Short Electric Guitar Solo] [Four bars, lyrical and restrained] [Bridge] [Near silence, gently sung] I remember what He promised: Bring the burden, bring the ache. Learn His gentle way of living; Love has room for tired faith. We were never made of stone, love. We don't have to earn our peace. [Final Chorus] [Full live drums, warm strings, restrained female harmonies] You can rest here too, Lay the weight down, let me hold you. Steady as the tide, We can take this breath together. When the night won't let you through, You don't have to carry two. There's a love that holds us both— You can rest here too. [Outro] [Band falls away; intimate piano] Let the whole world wait. I've got room for you. You can rest here too. [Final piano chord, natural decay] [End]
