I wake up to a street that may not wait for me
My chest keeps asking questions only silence seems to be
Old footsteps tap like ghosts along the windowpane
I'm fragile and I'm burning — held together by the pain
When night folds all the edges of my home
I whisper your name and something starts to roam
(Ya-eh — ya-ah) — a tremor opens like a bloom
Small sparks turn tongues of light that slice the room
I call into the belly of the sky, I call for us
Your trace rides on the wind and leaves me breathless
Between fear and dreaming I drive my hand in deep
The light returns to those who guard a beating keep
(Ya-ah-ya — ya-eh) — I rise, I fall, I keep the leap
Neon promises are carved across my window glass
Every memory's an ocean — I am learning how to last
There's fear, there's brave, there's pieces left behind
And one of your lines is inked where the world forgot to find
And morning pushes all our doubts up to the air
Your voice becomes an echo I still wear
(Ya-eh — yé-ya) — breathing folds into the sea
The riffs climb slow and tug the center out of me
I call into the belly of the sky, I call for us
Your trace rides on the wind and leaves me breathless
Between fear and dreaming I drive my hand in deep
The light returns to those who guard a beating keep
(Ya-ah-ya — ya-eh) — beyond the walls of sleep
If I tore the map of my own fear in two
We'd find roads of wind and secret truth
Let me yodel to the world so they can hear —
(Ya-ya-ya-ah) — I was born to feel it clear
Guitar climbs, and I unfold into a bloom
Thunder soft as velvet, roaring like a room
I call into the belly of the sky — come take me in
Bring your salt-stained trail, let the slow time spin
Even when the night is broken, promises still hum:
Those who return and try again will learn to come undone
(Ya-ah-ya — ya-eh — ya-ya) — I let the ocean run
In the belly of the sky, breathe with me, stay one more minute
(Ya-eh)
In the belly of the sky, hope is a pulse — the world goes quiet
(Ya-ah-ya — long yodel that rises and falls into a soft sigh)
