[Verse 1]
You got your hand on the latch
I can feel the room split
Your coat on the chair
Like a verdict, like a hit
I been wrong, I know it
I been late with the truth
Too proud in my mouth
Too much smoke in my youth
You look at me steady
Like you seen this before
My heart on the floor
And your silence got more
Than the words I was saving
Than the vows I forgot
Now I’m staring at loss
In the shape of a notch
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait
Don’t make it final
I can change tonight
Say it once more
I’ll swallow the pride
I’ll pay for the bruises
I’ll carry the blame
Just don’t leave it
Like this in the frame
[Chorus]
Stay one more minute
Stay one more night
(Stay one more minute)
Don’t kill the light
Stay one more minute
Don’t shut that door
(I’m asking for you)
Like I never asked before
[Verse 2]
I know I made hollows
Out of things you called home
Left you talking to walls
While I sat like a stone
And I hate that I taught you
How to leave in your head
How to fold up the love
And put grief in its place instead
But look at me now
I’m not that man in the ash
I’m a fist full of regret
And a heart full of crash
If you walk, I’ll deserve it
I won’t block your way
I just need you to hear me
Before you fade
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait
Don’t make it final
I can change tonight
Say it once more
I’ll swallow the pride
I’ll hand you the keys
I’ll stand in the rain
Just don’t leave me
Here with my name
[Chorus]
Stay one more minute
Stay one more night
(Stay one more minute)
Don’t kill the light
Stay one more minute
Don’t shut that door
(I’m asking for you)
Like I never asked before
[Bridge]
If you need the truth
Here it is, bare
I was a house with a curse
You were breathing the air
And I turned every kindness
Into something to hide
Now I’m counting your footsteps
As they cut through the night
[Chorus]
Stay one more minute
Stay one more night
(Stay one more minute)
Don’t kill the light
Stay one more minute
Don’t shut that door
(I’m asking for you)
Like I never asked before
