Lyrics
Verse
Morning light creeps through blinds,
Coffee cooling, borrowed time,
Your shirt on the chair, silent sign—
We stayed.
City’s hush, breath held tight,
Last night’s echoes, soft daylight,
Words unsaid linger in sight—
Still here.
No hurry, no need to fill space,
Watching you sleep, peace on your face,
Wondering if we found a place—
That remains.
Pre-chorus
It feels like something shifted inside,
A feeling I don’t want to let slide.
Chorus
This is the calm after the fire,
Where the noise fades and truth grows higher,
Every touch still wired—
Still.
If last night was more than desire,
More than heat climbing higher,
I’m right here in the quiet—
Still.
Verse
Sun rises up the wall,
Shoes by the door, keys on the floor,
Nothing accidental anymore—
Right now.
I’ve lived wild, I’ve lived fast,
Woken in places that didn’t last,
But this feels clear, not just allowed—
Somehow.
You stir, meet my eyes,
No small words, no disguise,
Just a look that asks—
“What now?”
Pre-chorus
No rush, no reason to run,
Let’s see how this one becomes.
Chorus
This is the calm after the fire,
Where the noise fades and truth grows higher,
Every touch still wired—
Still.
If last night was more than desire,
More than heat climbing higher,
I’m right here in the quiet—
Still.
Bridge
No promises,
Just honesty.
Verse
Maybe this turns out real,
Maybe we just learn how it feels,
Either way, I won’t steal—
The moment.
No labels, no grand design,
Two hearts waking in time,
Let the answer take its time—
We’re open.
Verse
If you leave when the day gets loud,
I’ll remember what we found,
Some things don’t fade when they calm down—
They stay.
And if you stay a little while,
Let the world wait outside,
I don’t need more than what’s inside—
Right here.
Chorus
This is the calm after the fire,
Where the noise fades and truth grows higher,
Every touch still wired—
Still.
If last night was more than desire,
More than heat climbing higher,
I’m right here in the quiet—
Still.
