Edge of Calm

You're on my couch
Shoes half off
You're drifting
Phone face down
But your mind keeps lifting
You say you're fine
I hear the crack right after
Your laugh too loud
Then you fall back into quiet

I keep you close to the edge of calm
Right where the chaos can't quite harm us
Let your guard slide off your shoulders
Love
I'll take the weight
Just breathe it out
Close to the edge of calm
I got you here
You're safe in my arms
We don't need words
Don't need to talk
Just let it fade
Just let it fall

Your heartbeat
Kicks against my sweater
You trace lines
On my wrist like letters
You don't ask
But your eyes say "hold me"
So I stay
Like I'm guarding something holy

I keep you close to the edge of calm
Right where the chaos can't quite harm us
Let your guard slide off your shoulders
Love
I'll take the weight
Just breathe it out
Close to the edge of calm
I got you here
You're safe in my arms
We don't need words
Don't need to talk
Just let it fade
Just let it fall

Lay it all down
All down (mm)
Every sharp thought
Every doubt
I'll drown
If you fall apart
Hard to fall
Fall apart now
I'll be the ground
Be the ground
Be the ground now

I keep you close to the edge of calm
Right where the chaos can't quite harm us
Let your guard slide off your shoulders
Love
I'll take the weight
Just breathe it out
Close to the edge of calm
I got you here
You're safe in my arms
We don't need words
Don't need to talk
Just let it fade
Just let it fall
