[Verse 1]
You rest your head
On my shoulder
Just breathing
IV light flickers slow
But your eyes
They are steady
Still believing
Someone left music on
From an old silver speaker
You say
“May I have this one?”
Your fingers find mine
A little weaker
[Chorus]
So we sway in a hospital room
Like it’s some worn-out hotel ballroom
You in that faded sweater
Bare feet on the tile
I count every heartbeat
Memorizing your smile
If this is our last dance
I’ll frame every second in my hands
Spinning with you under buzzing fluorescent moons
Our last dance in the quiet room
[Verse 2]
You laugh and say
“Remember prom in the gym?”
Dress too long
Shoes too tight
You tripped and I fell in love on a whim
Now the beeping keeps time
But we move right through it
You lean close
Hum that line
Of the song from our first midnight duet
[Chorus]
And we sway in this hospital room
Turn these white walls into our own ballroom
You in that thin blue blanket
Cheek on my chest
I’m holding you closer
Holding my breath
If this is our last dance
I’ll frame every second in my hands
Spinning with you under buzzing fluorescent moons
Our last dance in the quiet room
[Bridge]
I don’t say “goodbye”
I just whisper your name (oh your name)
You say
“Promise you’ll dance
When you hear this again” (you’ll dance again)
So I press my cheek to yours
Try to slow down the night
Every step
Every sigh
Teaching my heart how to live in this light
[Chorus]
We still sway in this hospital room
In my mind
It’s a golden ballroom
You in forever
Me in this moment
Both of us tangled in something unbroken
If this is our last dance
I’ll keep every second in my hands
Spinning with you past the buzzing and the gloom
Our last dance in the quiet room
Our last dance in the quiet room
