Lyric

You left your coat on my chair

Rain on the window, slow and gray

I learned your laugh by heart

Then watched it fade a little each day

You still know how to look at me

Like I’m the only room you need

And I still reach for your hand

Even when the night won’t let me speak

So tell me what we are

When the whole room leans away

Tell me where to put

All this love that won’t behave

Stay a while, stay a while

Don’t let it all fall through

Stay a while, stay a while

I still burn for you

If this ends, let it be kind

If it breaks, let it break in truth

Stay a while, stay a while

I still burn for you

Your key lies cold in the bowl

Next to the bills and the broken clock

I make too much for one plate

Then eat the quiet of what we lost

You found my fear in the dark

Named every place it likes to hide

Now every step to the door

Feels like I’m leaving half my life

So tell me what we are

When the whole room leans away

Tell me where to put

All this love that won’t behave

Stay a while, stay a while

Don’t let it all fall through

Stay a while, stay a while

I still burn for you

If this ends, let it be kind

If it breaks, let it break in truth

Stay a while, stay a while

I still burn for you

I don’t want forever

If forever costs your name

I don’t want a perfect ending

I just want us to say

We were real, we were reckless

We were bright for a little time

And if you go, go gently

Leave one match behind

Stay a while, stay a while

Don’t let it all fall through

Stay a while, stay a while

I still burn for you

If this ends, let it be kind

If it breaks, let it break in truth

Stay a while, stay a while

I still burn for you
