**[Verse 1]**
*Soft guitar picking, gentle piano*
You trace my scars like they’re poetry,
Silent before I speak—you hear me.
Your head on my chest, two hearts in time,
A language without words, so easy to find.
**[Pre-Chorus]**
*Light percussion swells*
Stealing the last bite, you know my game,
Thermostat wars, then you pull me in just the same.
You see my tears, but you call them brave,
In the mess of us, love’s the thread that won’t fray.
**[Chorus]**
*Full instrumentation, soaring melody*
We build **altars in the ordinary**,
A glance says *"Stay,"* and I’ll never leave.
Your laughter echoes deep in my ribs,
Like a hymn I’ll hum with every breath I give.
Even in chaos, you’re the **click of a lock**,
No keys, just trust—you’re my safe place to stop.
**[Verse 2]**
*Stripped-down, intimate*
Fighting over blankets, stealing the sheets,
Morning breath whispers and tangled-up feet.
You memorize the way I take my coffee,
Love’s not fireworks—it’s knowing me deeply.
**[Bridge]**
*Builds to a crescendo*
*"Here I am"*—not perfect, just true,
All my broken edges fit with you.
Intimacy’s the **unraveling**,
Fear undone when your hands hold me still.
**[Final Chorus]**
*Big, emotional finish*
We build **altars in the ordinary**,
A glance says *"Stay,"* and I’ll never leave.
Your laughter echoes deep in my ribs,
Like a hymn I’ll hum with every breath I give.
**[Outro]**
*Fades to a whisper*
*"Choosing to know, choosing to be known..."*
*(Piano lingers, then silence)*
