Lyrics
Verse 1
She drifts across the room and finds her place on me,
Like her heartbeat knows the rhythm of my chest.
Every breath she lets go feels like trust unfolding,
Every moment says what words can’t express.
Pre-Hook
And when the world gets loud, she settles into me,
Like I’m the only place her mind can finally breathe.
Hook
She sleeps deeper when she’s lying on my heart,
Like the night gets softer when we’re not apart.
I hold her steady while the whole world turns,
I’m her anchor in the quiet, where her soul returns.
Verse 2
There’s a weight that falls when she slips into dreaming,
A gentle kind of gravity only love can make.
And I feel it every time — that moment she lets go,
Like she knows I’ll hold whatever she can’t take.
Pre-Hook
And even when she’s gone for just a little while,
Her body misses mine before she even smiles.
Hook
She sleeps deeper when she’s lying on my heart,
Like the night gets softer when we’re not apart.
I hold her steady while the whole world turns,
I’m her anchor in the quiet, where her soul returns.
Bridge
It’s not the way we look, or the things we say,
It’s the way she melts into me at the end of the day.
Two hearts learning how to rest as one,
Finding peace where the world comes undone.
Final Hook
She sleeps deeper when she’s lying on my heart,
Like the night gets softer when we’re not apart.
I hold her steady while the whole world turns,
I’m her anchor in the quiet, where her soul returns.
