[Verse 1]
We’re running on empty
Smile through the weight
Hands in our pockets
Trying to stay awake
Too many voices
Too much at once
We go through the motions
Until we go numb
[Pre-Chorus]
But late in the dark
We still reach out
For a soft little voice
To pull us back now
One kind touch
One honest sign
A little warmth
To get us through the night
[Chorus]
Hold me close
Say my name
We are tired
But we still pray
Hold me close
Don’t let go
We feel so much
Then lose it slow
[Verse 2]
We read all the messages
Leave them on seen
Wear our best faces
Like a borrowed dream
Laugh at the party
Stand by the wall
Hearts in our bodies
But we don’t feel much at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Still somewhere inside
There’s a fragile light
It wants a hand
It wants a life
No grand romance
Just someone near
To say “I’m here”
And make it clear
[Chorus]
Hold me close
Say my name
We are tired
But we still pray
Hold me close
Don’t let go
We feel so much
Then lose it slow
[Bridge]
If you’re tired too
Come sit by me
No need to perform
Just let it be
One small mercy
One steady heart
Could be enough
To fix the dark
[Final Chorus]
Hold me close
Say my name
We are tired
But we still pray
Hold me close
Don’t let go
We feel so much
Then lose it slow
Hold me close
Stay tonight
Kindness lands
And makes it right
