[Verse 1]
You can breathe here slow
Set the weight right down
You don't have to speak
I can hold this ground
If your hands still shake
If the words won't come
I'll stay close enough
Till the hard part's done
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need to shine
You don't need to stand
I can be the place
Where the night feels bland
[Chorus]
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
I will stay here
I will stay here
Quiet and near
Quiet and near
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
[Verse 2]
When the room gets loud
And it climbs your skin
I'll be soft around
What you're carrying in
You can rest your eyes
You can let things pass
I will be the roof
Over broken glass
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need to fix
What is hurting so
I can keep you warm
While the cold winds go
[Chorus]
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
I will stay here
I will stay here
Quiet and near
Quiet and near
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
[Bridge]
Take the smallest step
Or take none at all
I will not move back
I will not let you fall
No bright promises
No hard demands
Just this steady heart
And these open hands
[Final Chorus]
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
I will stay here
I will stay here
Quiet and near
Quiet and near
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
You can rest here now
You can rest here now
