[Verse 1]
I was folded up small
On the edge of my bed
Hands full of bad thoughts
Nothing left unsaid
You came through the door
Like a warm front line
Said my name so soft
Made the dark step aside
I had the room on lock
But my chest was loud
My jaw kept tight
My eyes stayed down
You sat right there
Like you meant to stay
Then you pulled me back
From that nowhere place
[Pre-Chorus]
And I almost slipped
But you held that line
One good look from you
And I breathed this time
You said, "Stay with me"
So I stayed with you
One slow step at a time
We got through
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Stay with me
When I go low, you bring me up
Stay with me
Stay with me
You say my name, I fill back up
[Verse 2]
Now the same old room
Don't feel so mean
Shoes by the mat
And the air's more clean
I still get those nights
When the walls get thin
But I know your voice
Like a way back in
You don't act like pain
Scares you away
You just pull up close
And you make room to stay
So if my mind goes wild
And the floor feels thin
You be that steady hand
Let me fall in
[Pre-Chorus]
And I almost slip
But you hold that line
One good look from you
And I breathe this time
You say, "Stay with me"
So I stay with you
One slow step at a time
We get through
[Chorus]
Stay with me
Stay with me
When I go low, you bring me up
Stay with me
Stay with me
You say my name, I fill back up
[Bridge]
If the night comes hard
And I lose my way
Put your hand in mine
Make the bad thoughts fade
I don't need a lot
Just your voice, your light
One soft word from you
And I make it through the night
[Final Chorus]
Stay with me
Stay with me
When I go low, you bring me up
Stay with me
Stay with me
You say my name, I fill back up
Stay with me
Stay with me
You pull me out when I get stuck
