I’ll Stay

Morning light through the broken blinds

Coffee’s cooling while losing time

You’re still half asleep

Like there’s nowhere else to go

Your t-shirt hangs off my shoulder

We’re both growing a little bit older

But everything feels right

Every day I wake with you

I don’t need a perfect plan

I don’t need the world to know

All I need is your hand

When the future feels unknown

I’ll stay when the days get heavy

I’ll stay when the years move fast

I’ll love you when we’re steady

And when we’re barely hanging on like that

Forever is just a promise

We don’t have to prove it true

I’ll spend my whole life choosing

You

We’ve had nights we couldn’t speak

Words fell short, and tempers weak

You still looked at me with those same eyes

Like I was worth the wait

Lines will form around our eyes

We’ll laugh about the passing time

I don’t fear getting older now

As long as you’re still around

No grand vows, no silver rings

No perfect story to tell

Just a love in the in-between

That we’ve learned to hold so well

I’ll stay when the days get heavy

I’ll stay when the years move fast

I’ll love you when we’re steady

And when we’re barely hanging on like that

If forever’s just a promise

We don’t have to prove it true

I’ll spend my whole life choosing

You

When my voice shakes hold on to me

When I’m lost call out to me

Let the world do what it does

We’ll find our way again

No matter where the road runs out

No matter what we lose somehow

If I have you, I’m already home

I’ll stay when the nights get quiet

I’ll stay when the fire burns low

I’ll love you in the silence

Where the truest feelings grow

If forever’s just a moment

We keep making something new

I’ll spend my whole life choosing

You
