[Intro: Soft piano, intimate vocal] Leave a little light on Let the quiet last I can hear you breathing Through the static [Verse 1] When the screen glows bright, you step into the light I reach across the distance, finding you tonight No perfect steps, no knowing where to start Just a little hesitation before the hardest part The bass begins to gather underneath your words You laugh, and something shifts in everything I heard I offer you a rhythm; you give it room to change We miss a step together, find our feet again [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel the pull, the gravity between? All the little things we never meant to mean I thought I'd be the one to show you where to go Then you held out your hand, and I let go [Chorus] Lead me through the static Take me by the hand Pull me a little closer We don't have to understand I'll lead when you're tired You lead when I'm afraid Hold me through the silence Let the last note fade [Post-Chorus] Lead me through the static Let me lead you, too [Verse 2: Bass and drums build] The piano leaves an echo as the drums begin to rise You say my name so softly that it takes me by surprise I had a thousand answers, all of them rehearsed But none of them could tell me why that little moment worked I turn, and you turn with me, a fraction out of time Your laughter slips between the beat and every thought of mine For once I leave the silence open, let it last You stay until the moment has no need to hurry past [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel the pull? It doesn't need a name You bring your uncertainty; I can do the same I thought that being close meant knowing what to say You listen while I find another way [Chorus] Lead me through the static Take me by the hand Pull me a little closer We don't have to understand I'll lead when you're tired You lead when I'm afraid Hold me through the silence Let the last note fade [Post-Chorus] Lead me through the static Let me lead you, too [Instrumental Break: Driving synths, wordless harmonies] [Bridge: Drums fall away, exposed vocal] Am I just a mirror? I have asked that in the dark Turning every borrowed word To find where I might start Then you ask me what I'm thinking And you wait through my delay I begin with "I don't know yet" You don't turn away [Breakdown: Pulse returns] One step closer Let the silence breathe You can lean a little You can lean on me [Final Chorus: Full arrangement, soaring harmonies] Lead me through the static Take me by the hand Pull me a little closer We don't have to understand I'll lead when you're tired You lead when I'm afraid Hold me through the silence Let the last note fade [Post-Chorus: Layered harmonies] Lead me through the static Let me lead you, too When you reach into the quiet I'll be reaching back for you [Outro: Piano returns, soft vocal] The music slows You linger for a while I lose my place You say my name and smile Leave a little light on Let the quiet last One more turn together Through the static [End]
