Lyric

Keys on the counter

Bag by the door

You sink in the sofa

Say you can’t go anymore

I see the weight in your shoulders

The glaze in your stare

You laugh like it’s nothing

But you’re stuck back there

Let the soft hours hold you

Let the hard day fall away

You don’t have to be so strong here

Not with me, not today

Close your tired eyes, I’ve got you

You can finally come undone

In this small, quiet corner

You’re enough, you’ve already won

Your shirt’s a little wrinkled

Your coffee’s gone cold

You talk in half sentences

Stories you’ve told

About promises you’re chasing

Deadlines that burn

But I’m tracing little circles

While you take your turn

Lay your head on my shoulder

Let your heartbeat slow down

Every rush, every burden

Can stay outside this town

You don’t owe anyone greatness

Just the breath you’re taking now

Let me love you in the middle

Of not knowing how

You say, “What if I fail them?”

Eyes fixed on the floor

I tuck back your hairline

Say, “Who’s keeping score?”

You’ve carried so many people

For so many miles

You forget you’re allowed to

Collapse for a while

You don’t have to keep shining

When the daylight’s gone (Mmm)

You can be a little broken

And still be the one

Let the night be your blanket

Let my voice be your proof

You are more than what you finish

More than all that you do

Outside, cars move in silence

Windows blinking slow

Inside, we’re just breathing

In a softer glow

You whisper, “I’m so tired”

Like a secret, like a prayer

I answer back in quiet

“I’m right here, I’m right here” (Oh)

If the world feels too heavy

I’ll carry this hour for you

If the climb looks endless

We can pause at this view

Every late-night confession

Every crack in your brave

Is a place my gentle heart

Has been saving to stay

So let’s turn down the voices

That demand you prove your worth

You’re a whole, tender person

Not a list of work

Stay a little bit longer

Till the worries fade to grey

In these soft hours after work

You are safe, you can stay
