Lyrics

[Intro]
[Yeah, yeah, yeah]
I’ve been folding my heart like origami—
Tight corners, sharp creases,
Hoping no one sees the trembling
In the paper releases.

I speak in metaphors,
Truth too soft to survive,
The air between us,
New love to revive.
But I want to tell you—
[Ohhh, ohh, ohhh]
I want to tell someone—
[Ohhh, ohh, ohhh]
That I am ready.


I’ve been a locked door,
With a key I swallowed years ago.
[I swallowed years ago]
But tonight,
I feel the hinges loosening.
[So I'm free, I'm here]
Just to hold me.
[Just hold meee]
I’m learning how to drop the guard,
To let love in, though it’s been hard,
Like morning light that softly lands
Through windows I forgot to close my stance…
[Ohh, ooh, ooh, oooh, oooh]
Just hold me,
[Please, just hold me]


There are poems I’ve left unwritten,
Felt too raw, too guilt-bitten.
But you—
You make me brave enough to try,
To let the ink run,
[Not run dry].
I’ve been a quiet, distant storm,
But now I long to change my form—
To be the rain, so soft, so true,
Falling gently over you.


I’ve been a locked door,
With a key I swallowed years ago.
[I swallowed years ago]
But tonight,
I feel the hinges loosening.
[So I'm free, I'm here]


Just to hold me.
[Just hold meee]
If I give you silent space,
Will you hear the heart’s faint trace?
If I hand you all I’ve been,
Will you plant new roots within?


I’ve been a locked door,
With a key I swallowed years ago.
[I swallowed years ago]
But tonight,
I feel the hinges loosening.
[So I'm free, I'm here]
Just to hold me.
[Just hold meee]
"Unlock me."
[Please unlock me]

So come to me with open hands,
Not to fix or make demands—
Just to hold me.
[Hold meee]

I’ve been a locked door,
With a key I swallowed years ago.
[I swallowed years ago]
But tonight,
I feel the hinges loosening.
[So I'm free, I'm here]
Just to hold me.
[Just hold meee]


Yo, I'm floatin' on this beat, like a feather in the breeze,
Foldin' hearts like origami, with the greatest of ease.
Sharp creases, tight corners, keepin' secrets in the fold,
But when I step in the room, the story's 'bout to be told.

Metaphors on deck, truth too soft to neglect,
But I'm ready to connect, let the love intersect.
I speak in riddles, but my heart's on display,
Gonna tell you now, ain't no delay.

[Ohhh, ohh, ohhh] I'm ready, can you feel the vibe?
[Ohhh, ohh, ohhh] No more hidin', I'm alive.
Unlock the door, let the hinges swing wide,
I'm free, I'm here, let the love inside.

So hold me tight, don't let go,
I'm in the house, now you know.
Droppin' guards, let the light shine through... ... gently over you.
