Hold Me Like a Secret

Intro

(ahh, ooh) yeah, yeah

soft hi-hat, low keys, breathe in

Verse

She moves like a slow flame, calm but wired

Lipstick on a cigarette, mind untied, inspired

Late texts, blue light, we trade our sins for laughter

You keep the lock, I keep the map, we keep the chapter

Slow ride, seat back, windows fog and time bends

Whispered maps and little truths that never pretend

I touch the edge of something that I can't explain

Pull me closer, pull me through, pull me off the chain

(oh-oh) uh-huh, yeah

Pre-chorus

We both know how this ends but we start again

Two ghosts in designer coats, we blend, we mend (we mend)

Moving like we're trying to forget but we remember

Slow burn, slow burn, watch the colors render (watch it)

Chorus

(F) Hold me like a secret that you're keeping (oh)

(F) Say my name like you mean it when you breathe in (breathe in)

(F) Don't run now, stay, stay, stay—don't leave (don't leave)

(M) I keep the night on my sleeve, yeah, on my sleeve (yeah)

(F) Hold me like a secret that you're keeping (hold me)

(F) Say my name like you mean it when you breathe in (say it)

(M) I keep the night on my sleeve, I keep it on my sleeve (uh-huh, yuh)

Verse

(M - rap)

Clock ticks, I flip scripts, slow drip, silk talk, grit gloss

Footsteps on marble, last call, count losses, count costs

I stack days like chapters, page by page, pain by name

Tryna find the corner where regret don't play the game

Skrrt through doors I left cracked, past ghosts in designer coats

Pocket full of promises, heavy stones, lighter jokes

I tell myself I'm fine then I rhyme the truth out loud

Mind racing, calm casing, sky low, paper cloud

Got a ledger of apologies, ink from midnight fights

Your perfume still on my collar when I step into the lights

I fold the silence, tuck it in between my ribs

Call it love, call it lust, call it what you wanna give

Late flights, late fights, late texts that never sent

You curse my name in lipstick and bless the nights we spent

I keep a line for the honest, another for the sin

Balance on the razor, smile thin, grin thin, begin

We orbit, we collide, then we orbit again

Chasing what we promised but we learn to bend (learn to bend)

Money on the dash, soul in the passenger seat

We trade the truth like cards, play it neat, play it cheap

You left a note in the glovebox: "Don't be a ghost, be here"

I read it in the rearview like a prayer, like a spear

Skrrt, ayy, yuh, uh-huh, yeah

Chorus

(F) Hold me like a secret that you're keeping (oh)

(F) Say my name like you mean it when you breathe in (breathe in)

(F) Don't run now, stay, stay, stay—don't leave (don't leave)

(M) I keep the night on my sleeve, yeah, on my sleeve (yeah)

(F) Hold me like a secret that you're keeping (hold me)

(F) Say my name like you mean it when you breathe in (say it)

(M) I keep the night on my sleeve, I keep it on my sleeve (I keep it)

(F) Slow down, slow d
