Lyric

Rain taps the window glass

Your shoes by the door

One blue cup on the table

And I know what hurts

Your shoulders hold the whole week

Like boxes in the dark

Come sit by the little lamp

Let the hard night start to part

You do not need to shine

You do not need to prove

Stay right here beside me

I made this chair for you

Stay with me tonight

Breathe through the ache

I can hold this space

Till the edges break

Stay with me tonight

Let your name rest here

I will keep you warm

Through the shaking fear

The bus hissed down the avenue

Then the block went still

Someone laughed behind thin walls

You were hurt for real

Your phone face up, unread

Your hands kept twisting thread

Come closer to the pillow

Let the storm unmake the head

If your voice comes out in pieces

I will hear each part

No one has to earn this

You can lean your heart

Stay with me tonight

Breathe through the ache

I can hold this space

Till the edges break

Stay with me tonight

Let your name rest here

I will keep you warm

Through the shaking fear

Say the thing you hide

Even if it cracks

I will not step back

I will not ask for masks

When the room feels narrow

When the walls press in

I’ll be the calm around you

I’ll be the place within

Stay with me tonight

The cold can wait

I will hold this line

Right here by the gate

Stay with me tonight

You do not fall alone

I will keep you warm

Till you make it home
