I fold my words small
In the palm of my hand
You hear me before
You see me stand
The room turns slow
Like a paper boat
I drift on the edge
Of what I won’t say
Stay a little closer
Let the silence glow
I’m not made of armor
I just move too slow
Take me in softly
Take me in softly
I can breathe here
I can breathe here
Hold me in the hush
Hold me in the hush
I come apart slow
Then I fall to dust
Moon on the glass
Like a silver stain
My name on your tongue
Feels almost safe
I blink and the night
Opens like a door
One step and I’m yours
One step more
Stay a little closer
Let the silence glow
I’m not made of armor
I just move too slow
Take me in softly
Take me in softly
I can breathe here
I can breathe here
Hold me in the hush
Hold me in the hush
I come apart slow
Then I fall to dust
If I fade let me
Fade in your light
If I tremble keep me
Out of the fight
I was always
Half a whisper away
Now I’m here now I’m here
Don’t let me stray
Take me in softly
Take me in softly
I can breathe here
I can breathe here
Hold me in the hush
Hold me in the hush
I come apart slow
Then I fall to dust
