Brightest Blue

Your hands are little moons Wrapped around my thumb Your cheek against my chest Like you already know The room falls quiet now When you look at me Brightest blue I ever saw Staring back at me I can feel the shape of time Already in the frame Every laugh in this small room Won’t always sound the same So I hold you harder Like I can keep it here Like I can make a vow That won’t disappear Brightest blue, brightest blue Stay like this with me Brightest blue, brightest blue For this one memory I swear I’ll always be here I swear I’ll never leave Brightest blue, brightest blue Please believe me One day you’ll pull away To find your own road And my two hands will learn What they cannot hold You’ll outgrow my arms Like summer outgrows rain And I’ll smile through the breaking While I feel the pain But now your breathing soft And your fingers warm The world can wait outside Here inside the storm I kiss your hair and pray To a god I barely know That I can freeze this minute Before it lets you go Brightest blue, brightest blue Stay like this with me Brightest blue, brightest blue For this one memory I swear I’ll always be here I swear I’ll never leave Brightest blue, brightest blue Please believe me If I could keep one hour I’d keep this one whole Your small heart beating fast My broken, swollen soul I know the promise bends I know the years will bite Still I make it anyway In this blinding light Brightest blue, brightest blue Stay like this with me Brightest blue, brightest blue For this one memory I swear I’ll always be here I swear I’ll never leave Brightest blue, brightest blue Please believe me In my arms tonight You are all I know Brightest blue Before you have to go
