[Intro] [Filtered Rhodes piano, deep sub-bass pulse, minimalist percussion] [Verse 1] My mind is a mess today Too much noise in the quiet You saw me shaking in my sleep You woke me slow, you kept me quiet Just a hand on my shoulder Stayed there 'til I came back Most would have walked away But you just looked at me. [Chorus] You’re the light in the center of it The way you love the parts I hate You stay through the war in my head Best friend, lover, my only peace (My only peace) [Verse 2] We sat in the car for an hour The rain was heavy on the roof The silence was the only thing that fit I felt numb to everything else But you didn't force the words You just let me breathe for a bit Patient in the ways I lack Holding the pieces I dropped. [Chorus] You’re the light in the center of it The way you love the parts I hate You stay through the war in my head Best friend, lover, my only peace. [Bridge] I was ready to let go You stayed on the floor with me I’m waiting for the day you’ve had enough But you just tell me it's okay to be tired (It's okay) [Chorus] You’re the light in the center of it The way you love the parts I hate You stay through the war in my head Best friend, lover, my only peace. [Outro] (My only peace) (You stayed) In the middle of the dark. (You stayed) Right here. [Music fades with a warm bass swell]
