歌詞

The laundromat glows low

Your sleeve still smells like rain

You fold your blue work shirt

I sit and count the coins

Your hands are worn and tired

Mine shake on the bench

You say, "I can't do this"

I say, "Let me stay"

The dryer turns its circle

Like it knows your name

Stay here a minute

Stay here with me

I got your back now

You can lean on me

(Lean on me)

Stay here a minute

The night can wait

The window shows the bus stop

Empty by the curb

A dog keeps pacing circles

Down by the paint-store door

You talk about your brother

I listen till you breathe

You keep your eyes on the floor

Like the weight won't move

I slide you half my sandwich

And a napkin too

Stay here a minute

Stay here with me

I got your back now

You can lean on me

(Lean on me)

Stay here a minute

The night can wait

The machine shakes out socks

Like little flags in air

You laugh for one second

Then it slips away

I catch your falling silence

Before it hits the ground

Stay here a minute

Stay here with me

I got your back now

You can lean on me

(Lean on me)

Stay here a minute

The night can wait

Tell me what hurts, baby

Tell me plain

You don't have to hold it

All by yourself

I'll keep the door open

I'll keep your name warm

And if you cry here

It's okay

Morning starts on the windows

Grey on the glass

You stand a little straighter

When the last load's done

I hand you your gray beanie

You nod, like you can try

Stay here a minute

Stay here with me

I got your back now

You can lean on me

(Lean on me)

Stay here a minute

You made it through

Stay here a minute

I'll walk with you
