Edge of Calm

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

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
Mm, mm, 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
