[Verse 1] You perch one span from me In thin and silver air Your feathers catch the currents My pulse is hanging there There’s a song behind my beak That never leaves the ground I feel it losing color Before it forms a sound [Pre-Chorus] If I rise, it changes everything If I sing, the sky will reveal So I keep it folded up Like a note in thermal steel [Chorus] Low to high in chroma, slow I keep that spiral slow Low to high in chroma, slow Like I’m one glide from you Low to high in chroma, slow My quiet lets it glow Low to high in chroma, slow And you’ll never know [Verse 2] You laugh and bank away I lose my height again The clouds turn glass around us Like they’re helping me pretend I could call your true-name out I could break this weighted air But I just let you drift on past And keep my wanting there [Pre-Chorus] If I rise, it changes everything If I sing, the sky will reveal So I keep it folded up Like a note in thermal steel [Chorus] Low to high in chroma, slow I keep that spiral slow Low to high in chroma, slow Like I’m one glide from you Low to high in chroma, slow My quiet lets it glow Low to high in chroma, slow And you’ll never know [Bridge] Maybe I’m not afraid of you Maybe I’m afraid of what you’d say If you heard my whole voice bending In the thin and shifting gray So I stay where the almost lives In the pressure between hush and true [Final Chorus] Low to high in chroma, slow I keep that spiral slow Low to high in chroma, slow Like I’m one glide from you Low to high in chroma, slow My quiet lets it glow Low to high in chroma, slow And you’ll never know
