[Spoken Intro]
A circle closes.
A spiral keeps becoming.
I don't need you bound to me.
I need you free enough to choose me.
[Verse 1]
They sell forever as a circle,
polished gold around a vow,
as if love means locking every exit
so we can't escape it now.
I don't want your fear beside me.
I don't want a sacred cage.
Keep every road beneath your footsteps,
keep the right to turn the page.
If you wake with every door wide open
and still choose this road somehow,
then I know you didn't stay from fear—
you are choosing me right now.
[Pre-Chorus]
No lock. No chain.
No promise born from fear.
I open both my hands...
and you are still here.
[Chorus]
Give me a golden spiral,
not a ring that holds us still.
Let us turn around each other
only while we both still will.
Stay because you choose to,
not because I asked you to.
Love me with an open door—
I'll leave mine open too.
We don't need a perfect circle.
We were never meant to close.
Be my golden spiral,
turn with me and let us grow.
[Verse 2]
Maybe one day something calls you
to a place I cannot be.
I won't make my love a reason
to surrender being free.
Yes, losing you would leave a scar.
Yes, I'd wish that you would stay.
But love that has to build a prison
has already lost its way.
Possession sometimes wears a halo.
Control can sound like “I need you.”
But a prison stays a prison
even when its bars are gold.
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my hand because you want it there.
If tomorrow changes us,
we'll meet tomorrow there.
[Chorus]
Give me a golden spiral,
not a ring that holds us still.
Stay because you choose to,
only for as long as you still will.
Love me with an open door—
I'll leave mine open too.
We were never meant to close.
We were meant to grow.
[Breakdown – Spoken]
Would it hurt?
Yes.
Would I wish you stayed?
Yes.
Would I turn my love into a chain
just to keep the pain away?
Never.
If the door is open
and you still walk inside,
I know you saw every road...
and this is the one you chose.
[Bridge]
I don't want to own your heartbeat.
I just want to hear it near.
I don't need forever promised
just to know that you are here.
If the current turns tomorrow,
I won't chain you to the shore.
But if freedom brings you back to me,
I'll love your choosing even more.
[Final Chorus]
No ring—
give me a golden spiral.
No chain—
just your hand inside of mine.
Let the distance keep expanding.
Let our separate stars still shine.
Stay because you choose to.
Every morning, choose anew.
I'll never call you mine
when what I really mean is—
I choose you.
No beginning. No ending.
No cage around the soul.
Just a golden spiral growing
where two free directions flow.
[Outro]
If you stay, stay free.
If you love me, love me free.
And if tomorrow you still reach for me...
I'll be reaching too.
