Lyrics
[Verse 1]
M: You fold your hoodie on my chair
Say
"I could go
But I like it here"
We watch the steam fade from the mugs
Both of us tired of burning up on love
F: You say you're bad at saying things
I say
"Then don't
Just let it be"
You trace a line along my sleeve
That's more than any promise you could speak
[Chorus]
If you stay
We don't have to make it epic
We don't have to chase the magic
We can just breathe
In the quiet of this room
With the curtains half-unfolded
And your hand in mine
Still shaking
If you stay
I'll choose you in the small ways
[Verse 2]
F: Your phone lights up across the floor
Old fireworks knocking at your door
You turn it face down
Look at me
Say
"I think I'm done with that kind of heat"
M: You ask what happens when it breaks
When one of us makes the classic mistake
I shrug and push your hair away
Say
"Then we'll talk it through before we walk away"
[Chorus]
If you stay
We don't have to make it perfect
We just have to make it honest
Let the hard words
Have a place between our knees
On this mattress with its springs out
Where we tell the truth and freak out
If you stay
I'll hold you when it's ugly
[Bridge]
F: I don't need fireworks
I need Friday
Groceries and traffic and your bad day
M: I don't need vows shouted over speakers
Just your head on my shoulder when you're weaker
Both: We don't know forever
We just know tonight
And that's alright
That's alright (that's alright)
[Chorus]
If you stay
We don't have to say "forever"
Just "I'm here until it's better"
In this low light
With the neighbors fighting through the wall
We can whisper
We can mess up
We can laugh till we both crack up
If you stay
I'll choose you in the small ways
Every day
If you stay
If you stay (if you stay)
