Omar, I Say Your Name

Intro

Verse 1
Omar, you walk into the dark and you never lose your way
You keep your head up high and you stay steady come what may
I always hear your laughter first before I see your face
It fills the silence and it warms the corners of the space
Omar, you don't say much but you're the one I call my friend
And when I fall apart you're there to catch me in the end
I say your name into the dark and all the shadows slip away
Omar, as long as you're near me I'm okay

Hook
Omar, I say your name out loud
It breaks the silence of the night
And every time it pulls me through
Omar, I'm leaning on you

Verse 2
I call your name out softly in the middle of the night
And somehow just the sound of it makes everything right
You never asked for thanks for anything you've ever done
You shrug it off and say that I'm the lucky one
Your name is something steady that I carry in the cold
I say it like a promise and I'll keep it till we're both grown old
Omar, I don't think you know how much you mean to me
You stay when everyone around me turns and walks away

Hook
Omar, I say your name out loud
It breaks the silence of the night
And every time it pulls me through
Omar, I'm leaning on you

Verse 3
Omar, the dark gets heavy and it presses on my chest
You look at me the way you always do and call my name
You never fake it and you never play the game
And every time I say your name the dark is not the same
I used to think the night was something I could never beat
But with your name in my mouth I'm standing on my feet
Omar, I've got a voice again and I owe it all to you
So let the dark come down on me, I know just what to do

Hook
Omar, I say your name out loud
It breaks the silence of the night
And every time it pulls me through
Omar, I'm leaning on you

Outro
Your name still makes it right
I'm never alone with you
