Make the World Small (version 1)

You don’t have to speakYou don’t have to moveYou don’t have to carryOne more piece of cruel proofJust breatheJust beLet it all fall looseLet it all fall loose I rock us side to sideBarely there—but you feel itFeel my heartbeat lining upWith every tremor in your bonesYour cheek on my chestLike you found a place to rest(you found it) Just let me hold you’Til the world feels small again’Til the noise turns into nothingAnd it’s only skin on skin (mm)You’re home Right here in my arms You don’t have to run You don’t have to worryI will soften every edgeBe the quiet in the chaosBe the place you can restYou’re safe You’re safe here with meRight here where you areStay right here with me’Til the world feels small again My hand draws quiet linesDown the middle of your backTracing every heavy hourEvery secretEvery crackKissing halos in your hairLittle prayers on your skinSoft against your ear I breathe“You are safe hereLet me in” Just let me hold you’Til the world feels small again’Til the noise turns into nothingLike it never beganYou’re home I can feel it settling in / In every beat, every breath I can feel youStarting to come back to lifeIn the hush between the heartbeatsIn the dark that turns to lightYou’re safe Nothing can reach you here You don’t have to hold it inYou don’t have to hideCome here, I’ve got you’Til the world feels small again See the light on the ceiling shaking with your breathLike we can finally breathe it inEvery flicker says “you’re not alone”Every shadow falls asleep We can float in this quiet foreverLet it glitter, let it spinAll the fear turns into silverWhen I’m holding you like this Stay right here, don’t drift awayI’ll be your night, I’ll be your dayEvery broken piece is safeIn the shimmer, in the sway Come here, I’ve got youWe can make the world feel smallTurn the noise into a whisperWe don’t hear anymoreYou’re home… … It can’t touch you here … You’re not aloneAnd I feel it too We’re not runningWe’re not shrinking from the darkWe’re building something steadyWith our hands and with our heartsYou’re safe here with meAnd I know it nowWhen I hold youWe can make the whole world small So breatheJust beLet it all fall looseYou don’t have to carry itI’ll carry it when you can’t In the quiet, in the stillIn the rhythm, soft and slowIf you ever lose your wayJust come back homeYou’re safe with me You’re not alone You’re finally home (Right where you belong)
