I Stay Here With You

Intro

soft light, late car ride (ah)

windows half-down, your hand in mine (ooh)

(la-la-la) breath slow, time slows (ah-ah)

(oo-oo) stay close, stay close

Verse

streetlamps hum like a gentle song

your laugh folds into the melody

paper cup of warm coffee, two hands, small talk

but every little pause says everything to me

you tuck a stray hair behind my ear (yeah)

and the world becomes a safer place (mm)

there's a quiet I don't want to break

so I memorize the curve of your face

Pre-chorus

hold me like it's always been this easy (stay)

whisper low, no hurry, no plan (stay)

tiny promises in the hush between breaths (yeah)

I promise I'll stay where you can find me

Chorus

I stay here, with you (I stay)

soft and steady, like the morning through the blinds (oh)

I stay here, with you (I stay)

slowly, gently, keep you in my lines (ah-ah-ah)

I stay here, with you (I stay)

(la-la-la) I stay here, with you

Verse

your shoulder, my favorite place to rest

we count the cracks in the ceiling tiles

you hum a tune that doesn't need to end

and I follow like a second heartbeat (mm-mm)

you trace a map on my palm with one thumb

little islands where we promise to return

no hurry to chase tomorrow's light

we build a world in the hush of tonight

Pre-chorus

fingers lace, the calendar can wait (wait)

you smile and the air rearranges (yeah)

soft words turn into a steady vow

and every line says, "I'm not going nowhere"

Chorus

I stay here, with you (I stay)

soft and steady, like the morning through the blinds (oh)

I stay here, with you (I stay)

slowly, gently, keep you in my lines (ah-ah-ah)

I stay here, with you (I stay)

(la-la-la) I stay here, with you

Bridge

(ta-ta-touch) your lips, a quiet question (ah)

(ki-ki-kiss) I answer like I'm certain (mm)

vocal flips (ah-ah-ah-ah) slide up, then fall

I promise small forever, small enough to hold

(ya-ya-ya) breathe me in, breathe me out

let the night keep everything we found

Chorus

I stay here, with you (I stay)

soft and steady, like the morning through the blinds (oh)

I stay here, with you (I stay)

slowly, gently, keep you in my lines (ah-ah-ah)

I stay here, with you (I stay)

(la-la-la) I stay here, with you

I stay here, with you (I stay)

I stay here, with you (I stay)

Outro

(ah-ah-ah-ah) ooh-oooh, stay close (stay)

(la-la) saranghae, saranghae (mm)

(ah-oo) I stay here, with you

(soft fade)
