Lyrics
Intro
mm-mm (la) mm-mm
hush-a-hush, the window sings
rain keeps time like a slow, kind drum
la-la, la-la (la)
Verse
Ink spreads like a secret on the page
coffee cooling, I trace your name
streetlight paints a ribbon on the floor
old sweater cradle, memory at the door
I fold the evening into small, neat lines
counting commas, counting quiet times
the clock breathes slow and I breathe in deep
letting little moments settle where they keep
Pre-chorus
soft and small, the room breathes with me
paper boats on a midnight sea (on a midnight sea)
no need to fix what’s already whole
just hold the light and let it glow
Chorus
stay a little longer, stay a little longer (stay)
stay a little longer, stay a little longer
mm-mm, hush, hush (hush)
stay a little longer, fold me into ink
stay a little longer, teach me how to sink
mm-mm, hush, hush (hush)
stay a little longer, stay a little longer
Verse
A postcard smile from a yesterday song
gloves on the radiator, nights soft and long
I write, I cross, I circle what I mean
give the small hurts room to breathe between
The rain keeps talking in a language slow
I listen close to everything I used to know
A sigh becomes a sentence, gentle and true
I leave a little space for morning to come through
Bridge
No tidy endings, just pages turned (turned)
no loud goodbyes, only lessons learned (learned)
let the light thin the edges of the night
hold the hush until it feels like right
Chorus
stay a little longer, stay a little longer (stay)
stay a little longer, stay a little longer
mm-mm, hush, hush (hush)
stay a little longer, fold me into ink
stay a little longer, teach me how to sink
mm-mm, hush, hush (hush)
stay a little longer, stay a little longer
Outro
mm-mm (la) mm-mm
la-la, la-la (fade out)
