(Verse 1)

You're sleeping next to me, your hand beneath the pillow,

Your breath is slow and shallow, like waves upon the sand.

I'm propped up on my elbow, watching your chest rise and fall,

And typing into Notes app, the phone pressed in my hand.

I write about your eyelashes, the way they kiss your cheek,

I write about the little sound you make when you're asleep.

I write the words I'll never say when morning comes around —

My courage lives in silence, in the dark, without a sound.

(Pre-Chorus)

'Cause how could I look at you in the light of day

And tell you all the things my heart wants to say?

I'd trip on my tongue, I'd stumble and fall —

So I write them here, in the Notes app, where you can't see at all.

(Chorus)

These are poems you'll never read,

Words you'll never know.

Lines I wrote beside you while the moon was hanging low.
