Lyric

You arrive with rain on your coat

And a silver key between your fingers

Set it down beside my cup

Let the quiet hold us a little longer

The room turns soft around your face

A half-lit painting above the piano

You ask me how the evening went

I say, better now that you’re here

No need to fill the space

No need to name the feeling

Your hand finds mine so easily

And suddenly I’m breathing

Stay until the last glass dries

Stay where the hour moves slowly

I can read tomorrow in your eyes

And tonight is more than enough for me

Stay until the records end

Stay beneath this borrowed silence

If the world comes looking, let it wait

I’m exactly where I want to be

The waiter leaves two folded checks

A small blue flame leans inside the candle

You trace circles on the tablecloth

While the old clock loses track of us

Outside, the traffic thins to rain

Inside, your laugh breaks through the low conversation

I never needed grand designs

Just this close, this warm, this uncomplicated

No need to fill the space

No need to name the feeling

Your shoulder rests against my own

And suddenly I’m breathing

Stay until the last glass dries

Stay where the hour moves slowly

I can read tomorrow in your eyes

And tonight is more than enough for me

Stay until the records end

Stay beneath this borrowed silence

If the world comes looking, let it wait

I’m exactly where I want to be

Maybe love is not a fire

Maybe it’s a lamp left on

A familiar coat beside the door

A place to set your worries down

Stay until the last glass dries

Stay where the hour moves slowly

I can read tomorrow in your eyes

And tonight is more than enough for me

Stay until the records end

Stay beneath this borrowed silence

If the world comes looking, let it wait

I’m exactly where I want to be

Stay a little longer

Stay a little longer

I’m exactly where I want to be
