Held a Second Too Long by Snowie Storm
Held a Second Too Long
[Verse 1]
The night was velvet, soft and slow,
A gentle hum where shadows go.
I felt your fingers brush my hand,
A spark I didn’t understand.
We lingered there, the air electric,
A heartbeat caught, so unexpected.
Time slipped by without a sound,
Two souls colliding, almost drowned.
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew the moment shouldn’t last,
But I held it, held it, held it fast.
Every second stretching on and on,
I held a second too long.
[Chorus]
Held a second too long,
Where the line between right and wrong
Faded under the midnight glow.
A fleeting touch I can’t let go.
Held a second too long,
And now your memory’s in my song.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
I can’t forget that look in your eyes.
[Verse 2]
The city slept, the lights were low,
Whispers danced in the undertow.
I wanted nothing, yet I craved
The warmth of the hand I almost braved.
Our laughter hung between the walls,
A fragile echo that softly calls.
I tried to leave, but stayed a while,
Lost in the danger of your smile.
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew the moment shouldn’t last,
But I held it, held it, held it fast.
Every second stretching on and on,
I held a second too long.
[Chorus]
Held a second too long,
Where the line between right and wrong
Faded under the midnight glow.
A fleeting touch I can’t let go.
Held a second too long,
And now your memory’s in my song.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
I can’t forget that look in your eyes.
[Bridge]
And maybe it’s a sin,
To feel this way within.
But every fleeting glance,
Turns my world around again.
I chase the ghost of your hand,
Through crowded streets, through silent sand.
A second held, a world undone,
A story written that can’t be outrun.
[Chorus / Outro]
Held a second too long,
Where the line between right and wrong
Faded under the midnight glow.
A fleeting touch I can’t let go.
Held a second too long,
And now your memory’s in my song.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
I can’t forget that look in your eyes.
Held… a second too long…
I held… a second too long…
