Lyric

You left your coat on the chair

I keep walking past it

My room is too wide tonight

And my name feels small in it

I made tea I never touched

Just watched it go dark

Stay here a minute

Let your hands unclench

You do not have to be brave

While the whole room waits

Stay here a minute

Lean your weight on me

I can hold this silence

If you need me to

The clock in the hall keeps time

Like it knows your secret

You stare at the floorboards

Like they might answer back

I pull a chair beside you

And the air gets kinder

Stay here a minute

Let your hands unclench

You do not have to be brave

While the whole room waits

Stay here a minute

Lean your weight on me

I can hold this silence

If you need me to

Your voice is a little torn

At the edge of the sentence

You say you are fine again

But your eyes say later

So I stay with your shadow

Till it sits down too

Stay here a minute

Let your hands unclench

You do not have to be brave

While the whole room waits

Stay here a minute

Lean your weight on me

I can hold this silence

If you need me to

Morning will ask for you

With its sharp little fingers

But tonight can be a room

Where nothing has to move

Breathe with me, one more time

Till the ache goes still

If your heart is a house

Let me stand by the door

If your thoughts are a storm

I will name the rain

You are not behind

You are not too late

Stay here a minute

Let your hands unclench

You do not have to be brave

While the whole room waits

Stay here a minute

Lean your weight on me

I can hold this silence

If you need me to
