Stay A Little Longer

[Verse 1]

You pull up

Hoodie half-zipped

Late again

But my name on your lips

Kick your shoes off

Drop your phone

Say you missed me

Like you’ve been gone

[Pre-Chorus]

You talk in circles

Tracing tattoos on my waist

You say you’re tired

But your eyes don’t look that way

You say “one hour”

But you’re already running late

Running late for me

[Chorus]

Stay a little longer

You know mornings feel better on your side

Every time you say you gotta go

You’re still here when the sun starts to rise

Stay a little longer

We both know how this story goes

You keep saying you’re just passing through

But your body keeps telling you no

[Verse 2]

Take a sip of my half-melted drink

Laugh at something that you’ll never post

I wink

You say “we’re nothing

” then pull me close

If this is nothing

It’s what I want most

[Pre-Chorus]

Your jacket hanging

On the back of my chair for days

Your scent is staying

Long after you’ve walked away

You say “don’t read in”

But you write your name on my face

On my face

On my face

[Chorus]

Stay a little longer

You know mornings feel better on your side

Every time you say you gotta go

You’re still here when the sun starts to rise

Stay a little longer

We both know how this story goes

You keep saying you’re just passing through

But your body keeps telling you no

[Bridge]

We’re so good at pretending

Calling this “nothing” again

But you only sleep this heavy

In a place you feel safe in (oh)

If you really didn’t feel it

You’d already be gone

Why does every time you leave

Turn into “just one more song”?

[Chorus]

Stay a little longer

You know mornings feel better on your side

Every time you say you gotta go

You’re still here when the sun starts to rise

Stay a little longer

We both know how this story goes

You keep saying you’re just passing through

But your heart keeps telling you

Stay a little longer

Ooh
