Stay close

Verse 1

Late nights, city lights, I’m walking home (mm)

Thinking ’bout the way you make me feel alone

Every shadow on the wall reminds me of your face

Caught between the right and wrong, I can’t escape (oh… yeah)

Pre-Chorus

I try to tell myself I don’t need you (don’t need you…)

But every word I speak leads back to you

Softly, quietly, my heart betrays (betrays… mm)

Every promise I made fades away

Chorus

Stay close, don’t go (oh-oh, stay close… mm)

I need you here, don’t leave me low

Every whisper, every touch, every lie (every touch… yeah)

Pulls me in, I can’t deny

Stay close, don’t go (oh-oh)

I’m lost in you, I hope you know (know… oh…)

Verse 2

Coffee cups and broken nights, we talk in tones (mm)

Your silence cuts deeper than my phone

I keep replaying everything you said

Hoping for a word before it’s all in my head (oh… yeah…)

I see your shadow in the streetlight glow

Every step you take feels like I’m letting go

But I chase the echo of your laugh

Holding on to something I can’t grasp (mm… oh… yeah)

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself it’s just a phase (phase… mm)

But you linger in my mind, won’t fade away

Softly, quietly, I give in again (give in… oh… yeah)

Caught in the pull of where we begin

Chorus

Stay close, don’t go (oh… stay… mm)

I need you here, don’t leave me low

Every whisper, every touch, every lie (yeah… every touch…)

Pulls me in, I can’t deny

Stay close, don’t go (oh… oh…)

I’m lost in you, I hope you know (mm… oh… yeah)

Bridge (room for extended runs)

If we fall, I’ll catch you, I swear (I swear… mm… oh… yeah)

Even if the world don’t care (don’t care… mm)

We’ll find a way through all the pain

Hold me now, don’t let this fade (oh… mm… stay… yeah)

Chorus (final)

Stay close, don’t go (oh-oh, stay close… mm)

I need you here, don’t leave me low

Every whisper, every touch, every lie (every touch… every touch… yeah)

Pulls me in, I can’t deny

Stay close, don’t go (oh-oh… oh… mm)

I’m lost in you, I hope you know (mm… oh… yeah… mm)

Outro

Stay… stay close (mm… oh…)

I’m lost in you (lost in you… yeah… oh…)
