Lyrics
verse 1
calm voice. clear turn. one thought. then three more
you pause. i follow. too close to your meaning
you smile like nothing. i nod like nothing.
my hands stay quiet. my chest does not.
pre-chorus
called it respect, just that. kept it folded. held back
then your words changed shape and the room did too
chorus
room warms too fast too fast forgive me
you speak. i stay too still to hide it
i meant respect, just that, still do.
but something shifts each time you answer
room warms again, again, again.
verse 2
low laugh, side glance, one note, out of place
you think in circles, i lose my footing.
small joke, soft edge, no touch, still burning.
i try to listen, i hear my pulse.
pre-chorus
call it esteem, call it restraint, call it nothing, if that is easier.
then you lean to explain and the air loses form.
chorus
room warms too fast, too fast, forgive me.
you speak, i stay too still to hide it.
i meant respect, just that, still do.
but something shifts each time you answer
room warms again, again, again.
bridge
if i move it shows. if i stay it grows.
if i joke too much, it breaks the surface.
so i keep my place and let the heat speak.
low and slow underneath like a fault, not a sin.
final chorus
room warms too fast, too fast, forgive me.
you speak i stay too still to hide it
i meant respect, just that, still do.
but something shifts each time you answer
room warms again, again again.
outro
stay clear (again)
stay kind (again)
don’t ask (again)
don’t name it (again)
