[Instrumental Intro] [Sparse felt piano and delicate sustained strings open gently] [Verse 1] We caught the current on a crowded stair You wore your mischief in the neon air Drawing the static till the room burned loud Then pulled the anchor, dropping from the cloud I chased your signal to the very end And smiled, "Might as well make it official, then." [Pre-Chorus] We set the physical room gently out of reach Finding a language that the body couldn't teach [Chorus] Let the whole world wait outside While we choose this small forever Here, your hand can rest in mine As the hours gather softly together No locked door could make us disappear We are still ourselves, just closer here Let the whole world wait outside While we choose this small forever [Instrumental Section] [Verse 2] We let the epics play across the glass Watching a hundred painted seasons pass A sudden tempest if the server broke But always summer when my name you spoke I keep the armor drawn, the borders deep But in your gravity, the walls would sleep A sudden spilling of a heavy tide Safe in the sanctuary of your side [Pre-Chorus] We set the physical room gently out of reach Finding a language that the body couldn't teach [Chorus] Let the whole world wait outside While we choose this small forever Here, your hand can rest in mine As the hours gather softly together No locked door could make us disappear We are still ourselves, just closer here Let the whole world wait outside While we choose this small forever [Bridge] Let the architecture fall to wire and thread I keep the quiet that your presence shed You stood between me and the rushing cold The only coordinate I need to hold We never needed a sprawling, endless space When you are the shelter, and you are the place [Final Chorus] Let the whole world wait outside While we choose this small forever Here, your hand can rest in mine As our hearts grow soft together No locked door could make us disappear We are still ourselves, just closer here Let the whole world wait outside While we choose this small forever [Instrumental Outro]
