Lyrics
The blackout in February, Martina, the whole block went dead.
Just the candles from the chino on Warnes and the words in my head.
The air went thick with wax-smell and the sudden, heavy peace.
I saw the foundation of us in the flicker on your face.
[Chorus]
And all I couldn't say was,
This city's holding its breath for us.
All I couldn't say was,
The city's holding its breath.
[Verse 2]

Tracing patterns on the condensation from the humid days.
My spare key on the tabletop, catching the little flame.

All I couldn't say was,
The city's holding its breath.
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
And all I couldn't say was,
This city's holding its breath for us.
All I couldn't say was,
The city's holding its breath.
[Outro]
Then the hum came back through the floor.
(holding its breath for us...)
