[Intro]
(acoustic guitar, single chord held, then a simple fingerpicked pattern — nothing else)
[Verse 1]
I remember a Tuesday, nothing special about it
You were reading on the floor with your back against the couch
I brought you tea without you asking
You didn't look up, just reached out your hand
And something passed between us like a current
Not electric — quieter than that
The kind of knowing that doesn't need a language
The kind you only notice looking back
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't mark it down
I didn't think I'd need to
I thought that kind of thing
Was just the way we'd always be
[Chorus]
Something held us then
Like gravity, like weather
Something held us then
So easy, so together
I didn't know that I was memorising you
Didn't know that I was storing up the view
Something held
And I didn't know to hold it too
Something held
[Verse 2]
I remember a winter, driving back from nowhere
You fell asleep before we hit the motorway
Your breath made clouds against the cold window
I turned the music down and drove the long way
I wanted that forever — just that moment
The dark, the road, you sleeping in the seat
I knew even then that it was fragile
But knowing never made me more complete
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn't mark it down
I didn't think I'd need to
I thought that kind of thing
Was just the way we'd always be
[Chorus]
Something held us then
Like gravity, like weather
Something held us then
So easy, so together
I didn't know that I was memorising you
Didn't know that I was storing up the view
Something held
And I didn't know to hold it too
Something held
[Bridge]
(voice alone, no guitar — completely exposed, just breath and word)
Do you remember the Tuesday
Do you remember the drive
Do you remember when being together
Didn't feel like something we had to survive
(fingerpicked guitar returns, single note at a time)
I think you do
I think you do
I think somewhere underneath the distance
You remember it too
[Final Chorus]
(same as before but with the lightest brush of strings entering on the last lines)
Something held us then
Like gravity, like weather
Something held us then
So easy, so together
I didn't know that I was memorising you
Didn't know that I was storing up the view
Something held
(voice drops to almost a whisper)
And I didn't know to hold it too
Something held
[Outro]
(fingerpicked pattern continues alone, slows, one final chord rings and decays completely)
(longest silence on the album before track 6 erupts)
