Mothlight Hands

Lyrics

Verse 1
You leave your shoes by the door
Like you know this is home
I keep the kettle low
Just to hear you come close
Your hand finds mine in the dark
Like it knows where to rest
And every tired part of me
Turns soft in your chest

Pre-Chorus
If the day came hard
You could set it down here
I’d keep the hurt off your shoulders
Hold you near

Chorus
Stay in my arms
Stay in my arms
You make the whole room warm
You make the whole room warm
I’ll be your calm
I’ll be your calm
When the world feels sharp
Stay in my arms

Verse 2
Your laugh on the couch pillow
Your scarf on the chair
The little scar on your knuckle
The way you fix your hair
I love the quiet details
That nobody else sees
You turn my ordinary
Into a place I need

Pre-Chorus
If the night gets long
And the shadows lean in
I’ll be the light on the window
The safest skin

Chorus
Stay in my arms
Stay in my arms
You make the whole room warm
You make the whole room warm
I’ll be your calm
I’ll be your calm
When the world feels sharp
Stay in my arms

Bridge
Let the hours fold
Let the rain tap slow
I don’t need much more
Than this when you’re close
Take my hand again
Let it say what I mean
You’re my soft place
My steady, my dream

Chorus
Stay in my arms
Stay in my arms
You make the whole room warm
You make the whole room warm
I’ll be your calm
I’ll be your calm
When the world feels sharp
Stay in my arms
