Verse 1
I’ve been running on empty, but my head’s still loud
City lights on my face, but I’m lost in the crowd
Every smile I wear feels borrowed, not mine
I keep checking the clock like it’s stealing my time
Pre-Chorus
And I don’t know why it hurts when I’m almost okay
Guess the heart doesn’t heal just ‘cause we say it’s safe
Chorus
So stay a little longer, don’t say goodbye yet
We’re standing on the edge, but I’m not done with this
If the night’s gonna break me, let it break me slow
Hold me like tomorrow’s something we don’t know
Stay a little longer—
I’m not ready to let you go
Verse 2
We’re dancing round truths we’re too scared to say
Like love is a fire and we’re playing with flames
I hear your laugh in the back of my mind
It’s the kind of sound that messes with time
Pre-Chorus
If this is the moment we’re meant to forget
Why does it feel like a lifetime we met?
Chorus
So stay a little longer, don’t say goodbye yet
We’re standing on the edge, but I’m not done with this
If the night’s gonna break me, let it break me slow
Hold me like tomorrow’s something we don’t know
Stay a little longer—
I’m not ready to let you go
Bridge
Maybe we’re broken, maybe we’re brave
Maybe this love is a beautiful mistake
But if it ends, let it end with a spark
Not a whisper fading out in the dark
Final Chorus (Lift)
So stay a little longer, just one more try
If this is the fall, let’s jump, not hide
If the world keeps spinning and we lose control
At least we were real, at least we were close
Stay a little longer—
Yeah, stay…
‘Cause loving you feels like coming home
Outro
The clock’s still ticking, but right now we’re gold
If you’re leaving someday…
Don’t leave me alone tonight
