Before You Name It

[Verse 1] You don’t walk the same now There’s a pause in your step Like you’re learning the rhythm Of a life you haven’t met There’s a quiet resistance In the way that you breathe Like you’re finally letting Something loosen underneath [Pre-Chorus] It’s not loud, it’s not clear But it’s pulling you near To a version you kept out of sight [Chorus] You don’t say it out loud You don’t call it a change But something in you’s not staying the same There’s a light in your guard There’s a shift in your tone Like you’re starting to feel on your own You don’t name it yet You don’t follow it through But I notice before you do [Verse 2] There’s a space in your silence And it feels like it’s yours Not an absence of something More like an open door And the way that you listen Like it lands in your skin Not just words in the air But somewhere within [Pre-Chorus 2] It’s not something you planned It’s not fully in your hands But it’s there every time you let go [Chorus] You don’t say it out loud You don’t call it a change But something in you’s not staying the same There’s a warmth in your doubt There’s a calm in your fear Like you’re finally allowing it near You don’t name it yet You don’t follow it through But I notice before you do [Bridge] And I don’t need to name it Or ask you to stay In the middle of something You’re just starting to face And I won’t move closer I won’t turn it into truth But there’s something in you… that deserves to come through [Final Chorus] You don’t say it out loud You don’t call it a flame But something in you is asking your name There’s a life in your hands There’s a breath you don’t hide Like you’re standing a little more inside You don’t name it yet You don’t need to prove But I notice I always do [Outro] I don’t reach I don’t pull I don’t make it come through But when something in you… starts to move I notice
