Murmurs of Love

Intro

Hush, say my name, say my name (say it low)

Mm-mm, ooh

Verse

Under the lamplight you lean close, slow

Fingertips tracing maps only we know

Paper-thin secrets fold into your palm

Soft breaths like confetti, calm after the storm

You hum low, a crooked tune, a private song

I answer back with almost-silent yeses, long

Every tiny syllable lands like rain

Collecting all the pieces, calling out my name (call my name)

Pre-chorus

And the room shrinks down to the curve of your shoulder

Time bends around us, getting softer, getting bolder

Say it like it's fragile and hold it like it's gold

Keep it close, keep it close, don't let it go

Chorus

Murmurs of love, murmurs of love (murmurs of love, murmurs of love)

Say it low, say it slow, like a secret from above (oh-oh)

Murmurs of love, murmurs of love (murmurs of love, murmurs of love)

Keep me in the quiet, keep me in the hush (yeah, hush)

Verse

Your laugh slips out like someone left the door ajar

I memorize the tiny cracks, the way you are

Lip-biting promises, half-made and bright

We trade small truths in the dim of night

There’s a map on your skin where I press my thumb

A compass that only moves when we come undone

Words folded in the pocket of our jeans

Close enough to hear the small in-between (mm)

Pre-chorus

And the world gets gentle when you breathe me in

All the loud things fall away, they thin

Say it like a river, slow and finally sure

Hold it until morning, hold it pure

Chorus

Murmurs of love, murmurs of love (murmurs of love, murmurs of love)

Say it low, say it slow, like a secret from above (ooh, ooh)

Murmurs of love, murmurs of love (murmurs of love, murmurs of love)

Keep me in the quiet, keep me in the hush (yeah, keep me)

Bridge

Lean in, lean in (lean in), close the distance, close the world

Let the small sounds pile up like winter pearls

Hush now, hush now (hush), let the syllables collide

I want all your tiny thunder, all your midnight tide

Mm-mm, ah-ah, ta-ta-touch my name (ta-ta-touch)

Slow and soft until it's not the same (not the same)

Chorus

Murmurs of love, murmurs of love (murmurs of love, murmurs of love)

Say it low, say it slow, like a secret from above (say it)

Murmurs of love, murmurs of love (murmurs of love, murmurs of love)

Keep me in the quiet, keep me in the hush (oh-oh, keep me)
