The Fighter And The Dancer

[Verse 1] You stood beside me, quiet and still Black shirt, steady hands I showed you two faces together You asked me where I stand I said they looked like they belonged You turned and looked at me Asked if I could see us that way I could hardly breathe [Pre-Chorus] You don't waste a single word You don't look away I close my eyes and find my Center But I can feel you stay [Chorus] You're a fighter, but you hold me Like you've always known the way Every movement, every heartbeat Turns into a dance I don't know how to explain it I can barely say your name But when you pull me closer Nothing feels the same [Verse 2] You know the weight of every movement The balance and the ground You've learned to read another body Without a single sound But we're not standing in a ring now There's nothing here to win Your strength becomes a different language When you draw me in [Pre-Chorus 2] I try to hide what I'm feeling You see it anyway I close my eyes and find my Center And the dance begins again [Chorus] You're a fighter, but you hold me Like you've always known the way Every movement, every heartbeat Turns into a dance I don't know how to explain it I can barely say your name But when you pull me closer Nothing feels the same [Bridge] My head falls back, I catch myself You ask me what I feel I can't separate the dancing From how close you are to me You say you've wanted this so long I finally understand I whisper softly, “Hold me” And I'm already in your hands [Final Chorus] You're a fighter, but you hold me With a strength that lets me rest No need to know tomorrow No need to second-guess Every movement, every heartbeat Every breath we share The fighter and the dancer And the love that's waiting there [Outro] Just hold me Stay with me No more running from the dance Just hold me
