Lyrics

Hold the line
Stay with me now
Through the noise
Through the fire

There was a silence underneath the sound
A kind of truth you only feel when everything falls out
I had the weight of empty cities on my chest
You moved like light across the ruin and gave the dark a rest

I’ve known the shape of distance
I’ve worn it like a wire
But you stood still inside the storm
And never asked me to be higher

I saw the fracture in the way you held your breath
Like every dream you ever carried still was fighting with itself
No need to speak it into form for it to live
Some things arrive without a warning and ask for all you have to give

I’ve felt the pull of leaving
I’ve let the silence win
But something opened in the dark
The moment you let me in

So if the lights go out
If the walls come down
If the world we knew disappears in the sound
I will not turn away
I will not let this break
We’ve come too far to vanish now

Take me higher than the sky
Past the doubt, past the divide
When the signal starts to fade
We are still the thing that stays
Hold me steady, don’t let go
Through the pressure, through the cold
If we fall, we fall as one
Into the dark, into the sun
Higher than the sky tonight

Higher
Higher than the sky tonight
Higher
We are still the thing that stays

There’s a rhythm to the damage and the healing too
A way the night can break a person and then hand them something new
I don’t believe in easy words or borrowed grace
But I believe in how you found me and the look upon your face

Like we were standing at the edge
Not asking to be saved
Just asking for a little truth
And something neither fear nor time could take

No innocence, no perfect scene, no clean release
Just two hearts learning how to carry what the years refuse to keep
And still there’s beauty in the pressure and the flame
In how we stood inside the current and let it carve us into change

I don’t need forever promised
I don’t need heaven named
Just give me something real enough
To still be real when everything has changed

I don’t need a perfect ending
I don’t need a gentler flame
Only something strong enough
To look the darkness in the face

I don’t need the world to open
I don’t need the night to bend
Only something true enough
To still be standing at the end

When the noise is gone
When the last light runs
When there’s nothing left but the beat in our blood
Stay with me there
Stay through the burn
Some things survive because they choose not to turn

Oh
Stay with me now
Oh
Through the fire, through the sound
Oh
Higher than the sky tonight

Take me higher than the sky
Past the doubt, past the divide
When the signal starts to fade
We are still the thing that stays
Hold me steady, don’t let go
Through the pressure, through the cold
If we fall, we fall as one
Into the dark, into the sun
Higher than the sky tonight

Higher
Past the doubt, past the divide
Higher
We are still the thing that stays
Higher than the sky tonight
