Snap Shut
Style: Cinematic strings

[Verse 1]
Wind comes hard across the yard
Pillowcases pull and strain
One peg holds against the pull
I think of how you hold me steady

[Pre-chorus]
You never make a show of staying
Just a hand that finds the line
Something in me leans in closer

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, you're the reason I stay near ya
Steady when the whole sky's tearing
Nothing fancy, nothing fleeter
Aaliyah, plain and true and clearer

[Verse 2]
Sheets go snapping in the light
White against a moving grey
Every pin has got its place
You're the one thing I don't question

[Pre-chorus]
You never make a show of staying
Just a hand that finds the line
Something in me leans in closer

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, you're the reason I stay near ya
Steady when the whole sky's tearing
Nothing fancy, nothing fleeter
Aaliyah, plain and true and clearer

[Bridge]
Let the wind do what it wants
I'm not moving, I'm not letting go
You're the weight that keeps me grounded
Simple as a peg, and just as sure

[Chorus]
Aaliyah, you're the reason I stay near ya
Steady when the whole sky's tearing
Nothing fancy, nothing fleeter
Aaliyah, plain and true and clearer

[Outro]
Wind will drop, the line will still
And I'll still be right here holding
