[Verse 1]
She said
Bring your longing to this breath
To this chipped blue mug
To this unmade bed
Ask it softly
How can I honor you now
With my feet on the floor
Not my head in the clouds
I been chasing
Every mirage on the map
Scrolling through lives
I could never quite have
Heart like a hallway
Full of unopened doors
But the key in my hand
Is the crack in the floor
[Chorus]
Loving what is here
Not what disappeared
Let the tender ache
Be the way it steers
If I’m longing for touch
I can hold myself
If I’m longing for there
I can breathe right here
Loving what is here
Even with the fear
Let the quiet voice
Be the one I hear
[Verse 2]
Sometimes healing
Is not getting what I want
It’s a warm glass sink
And a late-night walk
It’s the way my chest
Still rises, falls
Though every old wish
Lit up my walls
(Yeah) I’ve been asking
Why the wound won’t close
But it keeps singing back
You’re the one I chose
So I sit with the sting
Like a guest in my room
Pour a cup of tea
For the ache and the bloom
[Chorus]
Loving what is here
Not what disappeared
Let the tender ache
Be the way it steers
If I’m longing for touch
I can hold myself
If I’m longing for there
I can breathe right here
Loving what is here
Even with the fear
Let the quiet voice
Be the one I hear
[Bridge]
What if every empty space
Is already full of grace
What if every restless night
Is a doorway in disguise
[Chorus]
Loving what is here
Not what disappeared
Let the tender ache
Be the way it steers
If I’m longing for touch
I can hold myself
If I’m longing for there
I can breathe right here
Loving what is here
Even with the fear
Let the quiet voice
Be the one I hear
