The Civilization Hidden Inside a Single Kiss

[Verse 1] Your mouth moves toward my mouth A history in slow glide Ten thousand quiet choices All standing at your side Every orphaned almost-love That never found this place Is watching from the corners As we redraw the space [Pre-Chorus] Every nerve carries a lineage Every breath, a borrowed flame All the ghosts of who we were Hold their vigil in your name [Chorus] Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow Inside this simple touch Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow In skin that says too much Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow Our futures echo low Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow In one small hello [Verse 2] Your pulse hums under skin Like cities seen at night Old warnings in our marrow Share maps with new delight Every pairing, every loss That led us to this air Is folded in this leaning Like scripture in a stare [Pre-Chorus] Every cell remembers hunger Every scar translates to trust In this breath between our lips Time is grinding into dust [Chorus] Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow The ages in your breath Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow In vows we never said Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow Our myths begin to grow Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow Then slip as we let go [Bridge] Maybe this is how we answer death By trading stories through the skin Every trembling, shared exhale Lets another era in Every boundary blurs and bends Where your edges meet my own We become a brief continuum More than flesh and bone [Final Chorus] Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow Inheritance in heat Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow Where fear and wanting meet Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow Our symbols overflow Whole worlds rise, break, fade, flow, turn, dream, fall, glow In one slow hello
