Lyric

Your lamp is still on

Mine is far away

You say, "Don't go quiet"

I say, "I can stay"

The rain taps the sill

Like fingers on glass

You ask if I'm tired

I say, "Not this fast"

Stay on the line

Stay right here

I know the ache

I know the fear

Hold my name

Like warm cloth

Stay on the line

Stay on the line

You sit by the sink

With the faucet turned low

The room smells like soap

And the floorboards glow

You laugh at one joke

Then your voice breaks apart

I tell you, "Breathe in"

And you do, from the heart

Stay on the line

Don't drift off

Let the dark knock

Let it knock

I'll hold this place

Till morning comes

Stay on the line

Stay on the line

You say that some nights

Feel too long to wear

Like a coat full of holes

With the cold still there

I tell you, "You’re here"

That's enough for tonight

Your breath in my ear

Feels like paper lantern light

If your hands shake now

Then let them

If your chest feels tight

Let it bend

No grand speech

Just my voice

And your name

Kept close tonight

Stay on the line

I’m still here

We can make room

For another fear

Hold my name

Like warm cloth

Stay on the line

Stay on the line

When your room turns gray

And the curtains wake

I'll send one more word

For the morning's sake

You don't have to win

You don't have to run

Just answer me once

When the dark is done

Stay on the line

Don't let go

Even this hour

Can bloom slow

Hold my name

Like warm cloth

Stay on the line

Stay on the line
