Quietly Yours - Arden Coley
The world keeps spinning, hungry for noise
But love can live in softer joys
We're not a headline, not a blazing flare
Just two steady souls and unbraided hair
You're leaning close, like you're reading my breath
And I feel less scared of the weight of death
I'm quietly yours in the gentle way
In the small hours holding the dark at bay
I'm quietly yours, no need to declare
My heart is a letter you already wear
If everything ends, if the light's all dimmed
I'll find you by feel, by the quiet hymn
And I'll learn in softly without a stage
Like ink that survives on an unseen page
I'm quietly yours in the gentle way
In the small hours holding the dark at bay
I'm quietly yours, no need to declare
My heart is a letter you already wear
Someday we're older, lines on our skin
Still laughing at nothing, still letting love in
No loud claiming, no jealous fight
Just you in the morning and you at night
I'm quietly yours in the gentle way
In the small hours holding the dark at bay
I'm quietly yours, no need to declare
My heart is a letter you already wear
So let the world shout, let it run and implode
I'm quietly yours and I'm finally joyed
