Own That Space

I’ve been in rooms full of almost-loves

Years on loan, never quite mine

Wild nights, bright lights that burned out cold

Woke up empty every time

Then you — lightning in soft hands

Saw the wreckage, didn’t flinch at all

Didn’t hand me a broom for all the broken

Sat down in the rubble, painted the walls

Oh, you’re the storm that found me

You’re the harbor where I’m free

First time I wasn’t bracing for the hit, oh

You see the cracks, you kiss the cracks

Stay in the dark where the real me sleeps

Safe and exposed and grinning

One of a kind, no close second

Even if tomorrow’s coming fast

You’ll still own that space — you’ll always own that space

Never been an open-book kinda fast

Usually that tightrope cuts my feet

But your ground knew my weight before I asked it

Falling for you just felt like landing on my feet

You don’t want pretty, polished, perfect

You like midnight me, sleep in my eyes

And somehow that version’s finally worth keeping

My mess wasn’t a mess, just your handwriting I hadn’t learned to read

Oh, you’re the storm that found me

You’re the harbor where I’m free

First time I wasn’t bracing for the hit, oh

You see the cracks, you kiss the cracks

Stay in the dark where the real me sleeps

Safe and exposed and grinning

One of a kind, no close second

Even if tomorrow’s coming fast

You’ll still own that space[Chorus]

I don’t need a map! (hey!)

Don’t need the ending! (hey!)

Right here, right now, with you — it’s all that matters

If it’s a week, if it’s forever

I got to touch something rare

I got to love something rare —

You’re the storm that found me

You’re the harbor where I’m free!

First time I didn’t have to fake that I was found

You see the cracks, you don’t look away

You stay in the dark where the real me lives

And I feel safe with my heart all out

One of a kind — full stop, my love

Even if this ends, love —

You’ll still own that space

Yeah, you’ll always own that space
