Lyric

I tried to get out of bed

You pulled me back with your eyes still closed

I whispered, You’re still asleep

You held me tighter like, I know

Morning was coming through the curtains

My phone said I should've been up

I slipped one leg out from the covers

Trying not to wake you too much

I barely made it to the edge

Before your arm reached out behind me

Found my waist without even looking

And pulled me right back where you wanted me

You didn't open your eyes

Didn't say a single thing

Just tucked your face against my shoulder

Like leaving wasn't happening

Every time I try to get up

You find me in your sleep somehow

Pull me back under the covers

Like nowhere else is allowed

I say, Baby, I have to go

You answer by holding me close

You're barely even awake right now

And that's what makes it hard to go

I wait a minute, try again

Slowly lift your hand from my waist

Set it gently on your pillow

Make it two whole steps away

Then I hear the sheets behind me

Turn around—you’re reaching out

Eyes still closed, hand in the air

Looking for where I should be now

Okay, that's not even fair

How am I supposed to leave like this?

I crawl back just to move your arm

You pull me straight into another kiss

Every time I try to get up

You find me in your sleep somehow

Pull me back under the covers

Like nowhere else is allowed

I say, Baby, I have to go

You answer by holding me close

You're barely even awake right now

And that's what makes it hard to go

So I give myself five more minutes

That's the deal I make in my head

Five turns into ten beside you

Now my phone is buzzing again

I blame you softly, you don't hear me

You're already drifting away

Then your fingers curl into my shirt

Just in case I change my mind again

Every time I try to get up

You find me in your sleep somehow

Pull me back under the covers

Like nowhere else is allowed

I say, Baby, I have to go

You hold me tighter, that's your vote

Still haven't opened your eyes

Still somehow getting what you want

I lift your arm, you put it back

I move away, you close the gap

I tell myself, One minute more

Like I didn't say that ten ago

The morning can wait just a little

My coffee can wait downstairs

I'll complain about running late

While making no move to go anywhere

And when you finally start waking

You look at me like I chose to stay

I say, This is completely your fault

You smile, What did I do?

Nothing

You were asleep

Move over

I’m staying five more minutes
