Lyrics
Intro
la-la-la, ooh-ooh (mhm)
soft bells, soft bells, la-la
Verse
Window fogged with candle breath, the street wears a slow white coat
Bare branches hold a paper bird that folds and floats and votes
For every small hello we give, the night replies in silver thread
We walk like pages turning slow, our footprints gentle on the road (gentle on the road)
Pre-chorus
Your mittened hand finds mine — a map that knows the way (knows the way)
There’s mulled cinnamon on the tongue of time, and songs we almost say (ooh)
Let the world spin soft and wide, let the morning take its time
Lean into the hush, into the warm, into the rhyme
Chorus
Stay with me under the winter sky, la-la, stay with me (stay with me)
Hold my breath between the bells, ding-dong, ding-dong, stay with me (stay with me)
Soft lights swell like a promise, ooh, ooh, hold on, hold on
Stay with me, stay with me, la-la-la, stay with me
Verse
Tinsel threads through laughter lines, a ribbon keeps our names
The kettle sings a memory we never had, and yet it feels the same
Paper stars are pinned on coats, small miracles pinned on sleeves
We trade our stories like old coins that jingle when we believe (jingle when we believe)
Pre-chorus
You hum the song my childhood kept, a line that catches me (catches me)
We trace the slow geometry of homely constancy
One breath for every candle lit, one wish to learn to stay
We carve out room for what is true and fold the night away
Bridge
Oh — ah-ah-ah, the world tilts softer here (softer here)
Feet in mittens, cup in hand, and you are near (you are near)
Na-na-na, the chorus swells, our voices weave (weave, weave)
The night hums back the tune we need (we need)
Chorus
Stay with me under the winter sky, la-la, stay with me (stay with me)
Hold my breath between the bells, ding-dong, ding-dong, stay with me (stay with me)
Soft lights swell like a promise, ooh, ooh, hold on, hold on
Stay with me, stay with me, la-la-la, stay with me
Chorus
Stay with me under the winter sky, la-la, stay with me (stay with me)
Hold my breath between the bells, ding-dong, ding-dong, stay with me (stay with me)
Soft lights swell like a promise, ooh, ooh, hold on, hold on
Stay with me, stay with me, la-la-la, stay with me
