[Verse 1]
You traced my palm
with cedar-smoke fingers
Rain on the window
soft as a secret
I kept your name
in the hem of my sleeve
Like a small warm ember
I couldn’t leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the room leaned in
slow and bright
Your mouth said stay
and I felt the night
[Chorus]
Stay close, stay close
don’t let me drift
Stay close, stay close
I want this lift
Your name on my tongue
like a held-back flame
Stay close, stay close
and say my name (say my name)
[Verse 2]
Broken blue shadows
on the kitchen floor
Your jacket by the chair
like it knows the score
You laughed once low
and the whole house shook
I read your heart
like a stolen book
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the room leaned in
slow and bright
Your mouth said stay
and I felt the night
[Chorus]
Stay close, stay close
don’t let me drift
Stay close, stay close
I want this lift
Your name on my tongue
like a held-back flame
Stay close, stay close
and say my name (say my name)
[Bridge]
If I fall apart
catch every piece
Lay them in your hands
like a quiet feast
I don’t need forever
just your breath on mine
One more honest second
one more line
[Chorus]
Stay close, stay close
don’t let me drift
Stay close, stay close
I want this lift
Your name on my tongue
like a held-back flame
Stay close, stay close
and say my name (say my name)
