Lyric

The washer hums its circle

Your sleeves smell like the day

You sit beside the folding table

And let the worry drain away

I hand you one clean towel

You say you lost your way

Stay a little

Stay with me

Tonight can rest

In this room

Stay a little

Lean on me

I can hold

This empty bloom

A train sigh drifts by the window

Your laugh comes out in sparks

You trace a crack in the linoleum

Like it knows your hidden marks

I tell you, "Breathe, I'm here now"

You say that helps in the dark

Take my shoulder

Take your time

No need to run

From the ache

Take my shoulder

Match my breath

Let the hard part

Loosen its grip

The vending light is buzzing

Over old detergent jars

You talk about your mother's house

And all the doors you bar

I don't ask for the whole story

I just sit where you are

Hold this moment

Hold it close

Let it warm

Your tired hands

Hold this moment

You and me

Till the night

Lets go again

By the time the floor gets quiet

Your eyes look less like storm

You pull the hem around your knees

And say the room feels warm

I say, "Stay till the last spin"

You nod and keep me near

If your chest goes tight again

Call my name through the wall

I will answer from the hallway

I will catch you when you fall

No grand speech, no perfect fix

Just one hand and one call

Stay a little

Stay with me

Morning can wait

At the door

Stay a little

Lean on me

You are not alone

Here anymore
