[Verse 1]
You leave the kettle by the sink
A folded towel, a paper ring
I read the little things you do
Like quiet notes addressed to you
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the hallway settles down
I hear your footsteps cross the ground
[Chorus]
Stay a little, don’t turn away
Let the room keep what we couldn’t say
Shh, let the whole house breathe tonight
Your hand in mine feels almost right
[Verse 2]
The window holds the afternoon
Dust turns slowly through the room
You tell me stories from your day
I watch the tiredness fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
No grand promise, no perfect line
Just your shoulder leaning into mine
[Chorus]
Stay a little, don’t turn away
Let the room keep what we couldn’t say
Shh, let the whole house breathe tonight
Your hand in mine feels almost right
[Bridge]
If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been
We’ll point to this and start again
A chipped blue cup, a borrowed chair
Your quiet laugh suspended there
[Final Chorus]
Stay a little, don’t turn away
Let the room keep what we couldn’t say
Shh, let the whole house breathe tonight
Your hand in mine feels almost right
[Outro]
Shh, the kettle’s cooling by the sink
Stay long enough to let us think
