[Guitar and electric violin]
[Verse 1]
(Woman) I’m standin’ in the doorway of a life I ain’t lived
Boots full of dust and a heart that won’t give
Every sunrise whispers, “Girl, you could go”
But the wind keeps hummin’ secrets only you know
[Guitar grittier, drums build up]
[Pre‑Chorus]
We ain’t stuck, we’re just
caught in the breath
Between what we want
and what ain’t happened yet
---
[All instruments driving]
[Chorus]
(Woman) I’m in the hold…
(Man) Yeah, I feel it too.
(Woman)Where the heart don’t break
but it don’t break through
(Man) I’m standin’ still
but I’m shakin’ inside
(Woman)Like a storm that’s waitin’
for the green light to rise
(Man) If the world calls time,
I won’t obey
(Man and woman) I’m in the hold…
but I ain’t lettin’ go.
[Verse 2]
(Man) I’m drivin’ down a highway that don’t end or begin
Radio static sayin’ things I swear sound like your skin
Got a map full of maybes and a tank full of ache
But I’m holdin’ this line ‘cause I know what’s at stake
[Guitar grittier, drums build up]
[Pre-chorus]
(Man) We ain’t stuck, we’re just
caught in the breath
Between what we want
and what ain’t happened yet
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
(Woman) If you’re comin’, love, then come like thunder
Break this silence clean in two
(Man) I’m right here, breathin’ under
Everything we didn’t do!!!
[Guitar solo 8 measures then drops out 1 measure, Then full instruments driving]
[Verse 3]
(Man)Got a promise in my pocket that I folded too tight
(Woman) Tryin’ not to lose it in the dark of the night
(Man) But your name keeps burnin’ like a porch‑light flame
(Woman) And I swear I hear you whisper every time it rains
[Final Chorus — Duet]
(Woman) I’m in the hold…
(Man) Then I’ll stand with you
(Woman) I’m half undone…
(Man) But I’m seein’ it through
(Woman) One heartbeat more and I might break—
(Man) Then lean on mine, for heaven’s sake
(Together) If the world calls time,
we won’t obey
We’re in the hold…
but we ain’t lettin’ go.
[Pre-Outro vocal ad libs]
[Outro instruments slow]
(Woman) I’m in the hold…
(Man) Yeah, I feel it too
[Spoken in a longing tone by woman]
I'm waiting...
[Spoken in a soothing voice by man]
I'm almost there.
