Lyric

The door stays closed

The night stays open

I could say I’ll see you later

I could keep it light

But the way you’re standing near me

Changes every line

Your jacket still on the chair

Keys quiet in your hand

Like you already know the answer

Before I ask

The city keeps calling names

We don’t answer tonight

Every sound outside this room

Feels further every time

I don’t need to make it clear

You already feel the same

There’s a calm inside the moment

When we stop pretending

I’m not leaving tonight

Not like this

Not with you this close

I’m not leaving tonight

I don’t need a reason

I just know

Your breath settles into mine

Like it’s found its place

Every second feels intentional

Nothing needs to change

I don’t check the time anymore

I don’t reach for my phone

Everything I want right now

Is right here at home

Your eyes stay steady on me

No hurry, no doubt

Like you’ve already decided

What this night’s about

If tomorrow comes asking

We’ll let it wait

Nothing needs an answer

Before the break

I’m not leaving tonight

Not like this

Not with you this close

I’m not leaving tonight

I don’t need a reason

I just know

I don’t need to say forever

I don’t need to promise more

There’s an honesty in staying

When you don’t reach for the door

Every breath feels settled

Every movement aligns

If this moment asks for anything

It’s time

I’m not leaving tonight

Stay right here

Let the quiet

Hold us steady

I’m not leaving tonight

Nothing to prove

If I choose anything right now

It’s you

I’m not leaving tonight

Stay with me

Just tonight
