Hold Me Up, Hold Me Down

[Verse 1]
Wake up, storm in my head
Bills on the table, blue threads
You pour tea, touch my hand
Say, “We bend, we never crack”
[Chorus]
You hold me up, I hold you down
Two hearts steady in a shaky town
If the world leans hard, we don’t fall through
I stay positive, I stay true to you
[Verse 2]
She: I got scars, I don’t hide
But you kiss every line, say they’re mine
He: When I slip, when I slide off track
You laugh soft, guide me right back (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
You hold me up, I hold you down
Two hearts steady in a shaky town
If the world leans hard, we don’t fall through
I stay positive, I stay true to you
[Bridge]
She: Talk sweet, talk calm in my ear
Respect my fire, not just my fear
He: You’re my mirror, my friend, my flame
Say my real name, not a game (hey!)
[Chorus]
You hold me up, I hold you down
Two hearts steady in a shaky town
If the night grows wild, we still shine through
I stay positive, I stay kind with you

Chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a brighter top line, verses ride a stripped, heavy pocket; subtle percussion fills and echo spins keep it hypnotic., reggae, dub
