Hold me while it fades

Lyrics

Verse 1
You came in with rain on your smile
And wind on your heart
I knew at once, baby
Some things don’t ask, they stand

Your eyes were a door left open
Your laugh was a flame
I touched that edge of you
And nothing stayed the same

Pre-Chorus
So take my name
Like a vow in your mouth
If love is a fire
Let it burn us down

I don’t want forever
I want your true tonight
I want the whole of you
Even the parts that bite

Chorus
Hold me while it fades
Hold me while it fades
We are only here
For the shape this love makes

Hold me while it fades
Hold me while it fades
I will love you hard
Then let you drift away

Verse 2
We drank from the same rough hour
Shared one thin sheet of time
You left a kiss in my thoughts
Like a scar that could rhyme

I won’t chain your tomorrow
I won’t ask it to stay
I learned your heart is a tide
And tides obey the moon’s way

Pre-Chorus
So take my name
Like a vow in your mouth
If love is a fire
Let it burn us down

I don’t want forever
I want your true tonight
I want the whole of you
Even the parts that bite

Chorus
Hold me while it fades
Hold me while it fades
We are only here
For the shape this love makes

Hold me while it fades
Hold me while it fades
I will love you hard
Then let you drift away

Bridge
If this is the ending
Then bring the ending close
Let the last note tremble
Let it open both our throats

I was never built
For a small, safe ache
I would rather break open
Than never fully wake

Final Chorus
Hold me while it fades
Hold me while it fades
We are only here
For the shape this love makes

Hold me while it fades
Hold me while it fades
I will love you hard
Then let you drift away

(hold me while it fades)
(hold me while it fades
