That Gentle Maybe

Intro

oh-oh, ah-ah (la-la-la)

uh-huh, yeah (heyi ya)

Verse

You walk in like a slow sun through my window

Soft footsteps on the tiles of my doubt

Your smile folds the city into a smaller map

Where every alley learns my name, your name

Tum paas ho toh hawa bhi gaati hai (na-na)

A memory dressed in jasmine and chai

My guitar keeps time with the rain on your roof

I keep the quiet, you keep the why

Pre-chorus

And when night leans in, I call your light (call it, call it)

Your hand in mine — a small, steady fight (steady, steady)

We fold the distance like paper boats

Sailing slow, somewhere beyond these notes

Chorus

Hold me in that gentle maybe (hold me, hold me)

Stay a little more, melt the maybe into yes

Oh-oh, la-la, stay with me, stay with me (stay, stay)

Turn the could-be into always, yes, into yes

Hold me in that gentle maybe (hold me, hold me)

Stay a little more, melt the maybe into yes

Oh-oh, la-la, stay with me, stay with me (stay, stay)

Turn the could-be into always, yes, into yes

Verse

Train whistles hum a distant promise

Your scarf still keeps my evening warm

I trace the script of your name on my palm

Old letters, new songs, a quiet storm

Tumne kaha tha, "abhi chalo" (abhi chalo)

The city slowed to hear us speak

We traded fears for a single laugh

And found the rhythm that we seek

Pre-chorus

Under streetlamps that forget the hour (forget, forget)

We learn our language, soft and louder (louder, louder)

Every step returns to where we began

I take your silence and turn it into plan

Chorus

Hold me in that gentle maybe (hold me, hold me)

Stay a little more, melt the maybe into yes

Oh-oh, la-la, stay with me, stay with me (stay, stay)

Turn the could-be into always, yes, into yes

Hold me in that gentle maybe (hold me, hold me)

Stay a little more, melt the maybe into yes

Oh-oh, la-la, stay with me, stay with me (stay, stay)

Turn the could-be into always, yes, into yes

Bridge

Main yahaan hoon, tum yahaan ho (main hoon)

Breathe in, breathe out — please don't go (please don't go)

I will write our names on every morning (write it, write it)

And sing them soft until they glow (glow, glow)

Na-na, na-na (la-la-la), yeh raat humari hai

Na-na, na-na (la-la-la), this moment, this promise

Chorus

Hold me in that gentle maybe (hold me, hold me)

Stay a little more, melt the maybe into yes

Oh-oh, la-la, stay with me, stay with me (stay, stay)

Turn the could-be into always, yes, into yes

Hold me in that gentle maybe (hold me, hold me)

Stay a little more, melt the maybe into yes

Oh-oh, la-la, stay with me, stay with me (stay, stay)

Turn the could-be into always, yes, into yes

Outro

Oh-oh, la-la (stay with me)

Uh-huh, yeah (stay with me)

(la-la-la) stay with me, stay with me, stay with me...
