Lyric

You’re still up

By the blue motel window

Rain on the glass

And your hands in your sleeves

I heard your breath

When you said my name

Like it hurt to carry

So I stayed

Stay here with me

Let the dark pass by

Stay here with me

You don’t have to shine

I’ll hold this quiet

While your heart unwinds

Stay here with me

Till the hurt lets go

The ice in the sink

Makes a tiny crack

Your old suitcase

Leans by the wall

You trace that line

On your palm again

Like you’re counting losses

That never end

Rest here with me

Let the room go still

Rest here with me

Till the fear sits down

I can be the floor

When your knees won’t stay

Rest here with me

Till your body knows

You say “I’m fine”

But it breaks on the way out

So I move in close

And I let you breathe

No big promises

Just my coat around your shoulders

And the hum of rain

Keeping time for us

Morning can wait

Let it knock somewhere else

For now there’s your pulse

And the heat of my hand

If the night gets long

I’ll stay in the doorway

I’ll be the one

Who doesn’t turn away

If you fold

I’ll fold with you

If you fall

I’ll catch the worst of it

Say my name

I’ll answer fast

You are not alone

You are not alone

Stay here with me

Let the dark pass by

Stay here with me

You don’t have to shine

I’ll hold this quiet

While your heart unwinds

Stay here with me

Till the hurt lets go
