You leave your coffee by the window
Half a page beneath the cup
I read the line you never finished
And know you had to hurry up
Your coat is hanging on my chair now
Like you might walk back through the door
I don't need grand and shining promises
I need the quiet we were made for
So take your time let the room grow still
Tell me the truth in your own way
I can hear the heart behind your words
Before you find what you want to say
Stay close don't turn away
Let this be enough for today
No perfect line no grand display
Just your hand in mine and stay
Stay close breathe easy here
All the little doubts can disappear
If love is real it doesn't have to shout
Just stay close and work it out
The old blue record skips at midnight
You laugh and reach across the floor
We know the places where it falters
Still we keep asking for one more
I've learned the weight of empty answers
I've worn the pride that kept me blind
But when you look at me that honestly
There isn't anywhere to hide
So take your time let the room grow still
Tell me the truth in your own way
I can hear the heart behind your words
Before you find what you want to say
Stay close don't turn away
Let this be enough for today
No perfect line no grand display
Just your hand in mine and stay
Stay close breathe easy here
All the little doubts can disappear
If love is real it doesn't have to shout
Just stay close and work it out
If tomorrow asks us for an answer
We can meet it when it comes
Tonight I only want to know you
Not the person you've become for everyone
Lay your tired head beside me
Let the silence lose its weight
We don't have to solve the whole world
We can start with staying awake
Stay close don't turn away
Let this be enough for today
No perfect line no grand display
Just your hand in mine, and stay
Stay close breathe easy here
All the little doubts can disappear
If love is real it doesn't have to shout
Just stay close and work it out
Stay close
No need to promise more
Stay close
Like you did before
