[Intro – soft piano, distant snaps]
Mm…
It’s late again…
Yeah…
[Verse 1 – intimate, confessional]
The room feels bigger when you’re gone,
Clock keeps moving, I’m still holding on.
Every shadow knows your name,
Every silence sounds the same.
I don’t need forever plans,
Or promises we can’t understand.
I just need you here right now,
Even if it’s just somehow.
Your jacket’s still on the chair,
Like you might come back, like you care.
I tell myself I’m fine alone,
But nights like this say otherwise.
[Pre-Chorus – soft rise]
I won’t ask for more than this,
Just one moment, one small risk.
If you feel it too, don’t hide—
Meet me where the truth resides.
[Chorus – emotional, catchy]
Can you stay with me tonight,
Just enough to feel alright?
I don’t need the morning light,
I just need you by my side.
If tomorrow pulls us apart,
Let tonight be honest hearts.
Hold me close, don’t overthink—
Can you love me for tonight?
[Post-Chorus – airy harmonies]
Ooh… tonight
Yeah… just tonight
Mm…
[Verse 2 – deeper, late-night clarity]
Your voice comes soft through the phone,
Says you hate being alone.
I pretend I’m stronger now,
But you see through me somehow.
We’ve both been hurt, we both know why
We keep love locked behind our pride.
But this space between your words
Feels like something undeterred.
I don’t want to change your mind,
I don’t want to cross the line.
I just want a little truth
In the way you look at me like you do.
[Pre-Chorus – fuller harmonies]
If we’re only passing through,
Let’s be real in what we do.
No pretending, no disguise—
Just the spark we don’t deny.
[Chorus – bigger, layered]
Can you stay with me tonight,
Just enough to feel alright?
I don’t need the morning light,
I just need you by my side.
If tomorrow pulls us apart,
Let tonight be honest hearts.
Hold me close, don’t overthink—
Can you love me for tonight?
[Bridge – stripped, emotional]
Maybe love doesn’t have to last
To be something real that matters.
Maybe we don’t need a name
For the way we feel right now.
If this is all we’re meant to be,
Then let it be gently.
[Final Chorus – tender resolution]
Can you stay with me tonight,
Let the world fade out of sight?
No regrets, no wrong or right,
Just two hearts in borrowed time.
If this moment’s all we get,
I won’t wish for more than it.
Hold me close, don’t overthink—
Can you love me for tonight?
[Outro – piano fades, soft breath]
Mm…
Just for tonight…
Yeah…
