[Intro – muted guitar, soft snaps] Mm… Yeah… Don’t rush. [Verse 1 – low, intimate] The room feels different when you’re here, Like the air knows to move slow. Every thought I brought with me Falls quiet when you get close. I’ve been carrying too much noise, Trying to hold the weight alone, But you don’t ask me to explain, You just make this feel like home. [Pre-Chorus – gentle lift] I don’t need the answers tonight, I don’t need to see it clear. All I know is right now Feels easier with you here. [Chorus – warm, tender] If you stay awhile, I’ll breathe again, Let the night take care of when. No rush, no pressure, no need to run, We can let this be what it becomes. If you stay awhile, just like this, Every second feels like it fits. I don’t need more than what I feel, I just need this to stay real. [Post-Chorus – soft hums] Mm… Yeah… [Verse 2 – reflective, sincere] I’ve known love that talked too loud, Promises it couldn’t keep. But the way you listen to me Feels deeper than what you speak. You don’t rush the way I open up, You don’t try to change my pace. You let the silence sit with us And somehow that feels safe. [Pre-Chorus – breathier] I don’t need a perfect plan, I don’t need to know the end. If you’re here right now with me, That’s more than I’ve ever had. [Chorus – fuller, layered] If you stay awhile, I’ll slow it down, Let my guard fall to the ground. No rules, no labels, no demands, Just your fingers in my hand. If you stay awhile, don’t say a word, Let the quiet say what’s heard. I don’t need more than what I feel, I just need this to stay real. [Bridge – stripped, emotional clarity] Maybe love isn’t meant to race, Maybe it’s meant to stay. In the stillness, in your arms, I finally feel okay. [Final Chorus – soft resolution] So stay awhile, if you can, Let the night slip through our hands. If tomorrow comes too fast, I’ll still hold onto this. If you stay awhile, I’ll be right here, Let the moment disappear. I don’t need more than what is true, I just need this… with you. [Outro – guitar fades, soft breath] Mm… Stay awhile.

Stay Awhile
