Barrett Kolt - In A Place I Call Home

It’s in these moments, seldom and few Like shadows that flicker and vanish from view Where silence is louder than anything spoken And time feels tender, fragile, and broken That’s when I feel it — that ache in my chest An infallible loss that won’t let me rest It ricochets gently, like a voice I once knew It echoes your name when I’m farthest from you I need you to quiet the world all around me Still all the noise ‘til the hush wraps around me Hold me so close that I’m not on my own Entangled in the lock of your lips In the warmth of your heartbeat In a place I call home The clocks keep ticking, but they don’t understand What it means to be saved by the touch of a hand I reach for you softly through memory and mist Through the place where the ache and the comfort exist And it still lingers — that tremble inside Like rain that returns when the earth hasn’t dried I feel it in waves when I lie here alone Your name is the thread that keeps pulling me home I need you to quiet the world all around me Still all the noise ‘til the hush wraps around me Hold me so close that I’m not on my own Entangled in the lock of your lips In the warmth of your heartbeat In a place I call home In a place I call home… Where your breath becomes mine… Where the world fades to nothing… And we run out of time.
