Soft Hours Between (Indie-Folk Ballad)

[Verse 1] Clock face glaring 3:04 again Ceiling cracks I know them like old friends Thoughts keep pacing Up and down my chest Even in the dark My mind won't rest [Chorus] These soft hours between Too late for tomorrow Too early to dream I'm tired of wrestling shadows That nobody sees If I can’t fall asleep I’ll just stay here and breathe Slow with the silence Till the silence holds me [Verse 2] Phone screen tempting Blue against my hands Every little headline Says I’m not enough to stand But the blanket’s heavy Like a quiet hug I count my worries Let them drift like dust [Chorus] These soft hours between Too late for tomorrow Too early to dream I'm tired of wrestling shadows That nobody sees If I can’t fall asleep I’ll just stay here and breathe Slow with the silence Till the silence holds me [Bridge] What if being okay Means just staying awake And not running away from the ache (oh) Heart still beating It’s proof that I’m here Listening gently To every small fear [Chorus] These soft hours between Too late for tomorrow Too early to dream I’m learning to sit with The restless in me If I can’t fall asleep I’ll just stay here and breathe Slow with the silence Till the silence holds me (hold me)
