Soul Cries

I remember holding your hand Through the city night, lights low Felt like the world was listening To every step we took slow Your curls caught fire in the streetlight Every smile cut me clean I didn’t know a heart could settle Just by standing in between Time leaned in when you laughed Like it didn’t want to miss a thing Nothing— Nothing ever set me right Like the way you smile at me My soul cries out in your direction Like it finally learned how to breathe Yeah— Lights hit different when you move like that Whole room shifts when you lean back You don’t ask, you just pull me in Say my name like you already win Hands talk louder than promises Every touch saying don’t resist I don’t fight what I already feel I let the moment take the wheel Why you gotta hit me like that Why it feel so right so fast I don’t want just tonight I want every slow aftermath And when the noise falls away It’s still your name That stays Nothing— Nothing ever touched me Like loving you all the way If my soul cries out your name It’s because it refuses to fade Still holding your hand.
