Verse 1

You leave your sweater on the kitchen chair

The kettle clicks, the window’s wearing rain

I take the long way home to give us room

Then turn around before I reach the train

Pre-Chorus

No need to make a promise out of this

Just let the evening settle where it lands

Chorus

Stay a little, let the whole world wait

We can talk in half a sentence, take our time

Your hand finds mine beside the cooling tea

And for tonight, that’s everything I need

Stay a little, let the hours drift

No big answer, no grand design

If morning comes, we’ll meet it when it does

For now, stay a little close to us
