[Verse 1] Floorboards cool against bare feet The kitchen hums a quiet beat Two cups of tea, the steam unwinds Leaving the noisy world behind You look at me across the room No words required inside this gloom Just heavy sighs and resting eyes Beneath the weight of compromise [Chorus] And time slows down when we're alone No screens to read, no place to roam Just skin and breath and timber grain A slow retreat from all the strain We hold the quiet in our hands And settle down like shifting sands [Verse 2] The clock ticks loud upon the wall We miss the phone calls, miss it all A jacket draped upon a chair The gentle rustle of your hair I trace the lines along your palm An island in a midnight calm We built this fortress out of grace To keep the ghosts of doubt in place [Chorus] And time slows down when we're alone No screens to read, no place to roam Just skin and breath and timber grain A slow retreat from all the strain We hold the quiet in our hands And settle down like shifting sands [Bridge] It’s heavy work to stay so close To bleed the fear that hurts the most To let the armor hit the floor And never want to hide no more Can you feel the floorboards shake With every gentle vow we make? [Outro] Just you and I In the quiet of the night No need to speak Just let it be Breathe it in Breathe it out [Instrumental Fade]
