Stay a little longer

The streetlights fade against the glass

Another quiet hour goes past

I leave the window open wide

Just to feel the night outside

I don’t need answers tonight

I just need something that feels right

Stay a little longer

Even if you say no words

Let the silence hold us

Let it soften what still hurts

I don’t need forever

I don’t need to know the end

Stay a little longer

Just until I breathe again

There’s a jacket on the chair

A little proof that you were there

I trace the shape of yesterday

Then let the morning take it away

Maybe some things don’t need names

Maybe some hearts stay the same

Maybe the night knows what to do

When all I really want is you

Stay a little longer

Even if you say no words

Let the silence hold us

Let it soften what still hurts

I don’t need forever

I don’t need to know the end

Stay a little longer

Just until I breathe again
