Stay Here With Me

Intro

shh—close the door (hush)

coffee steam and slow vinyl, mm

lean in, the room bends around us

(soft)

Verse

(F) lean close, tell me small things you keep in pockets

(M) I fold them like maps, edges worn and quiet

(F) your laugh slides under the table, a low bell (mm)

(M) my fingers trace the rim of your cup, slow, slow

Pre-chorus

(F) stay a little longer, let the light slow down

(M) let the street rain count the seconds for us (psst)

(F) hush—tell me the name you say like a secret (tell me)

(M) I'll answer in the silence, soft as a promise

Chorus

both: stay here, stay here with me (stay)

stay here, stay here with me (mm-mm)

(F) lean back, let the melody hold us

(M) breathe out, and let the world go (let it go)

both: stay here, stay here with me (stay)

stay here, stay here with me (hush)

Verse

(M) your jacket smells like late rain and borrowed songs

(F) I move closer, reading weather lines on your face

(M) there’s a small rebellion in how you look at mornings

(F) and I swear I learn a new way to stay awake by you (ah)

Bridge

(M) if the city wakes, we'll fold into a smile (mm)

(F) keep my name between your hands, like a soft coin

(M) we'll trade quiet for tomorrow, just this once (just once)

both: (hmm)

Chorus

both: stay here, stay here with me (stay)

stay here, stay here with me (mm-mm)

(F) let the bass keep time with our breathing

(M) let the synth starlight stitch the edges (shh)

both: stay here, stay here with me (stay)

stay here, stay here with me (hush, hush)
