Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You walked in soft
With jasmine on your sleeve
My whole chest shook
Like it knew you’d leave
Gold rings on your hand
Little henna lines
You laughed at my joke
Now I’m out of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name slow
Let it stay on your tongue
One more look
And I’m already spun
Hold that stare
Don’t let it go cold
I was fine before
Now I’m losing control
[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If you pull me close
I’ll fall all the way
[Verse 2]
Your key on the table
Your scarf in the rain
I trace your side of the bed
Like a prayer with your name
I tried to act cool
But I never can
One touch from your hand
And I’m gone again
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name slow
Let it stay on your tongue
One more look
And I’m already spun
Hold that stare
Don’t let it go cold
I was fine before
Now I’m losing control
[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If you pull me close
I’ll fall all the way
[Bridge]
Maybe love is just this
A door left open wide
Your laugh in my blood
Your hands on my mind
If you walk away now
I’ll still feel the pull
I don’t need forever
Just you, here, whole
[Final Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If you pull me close
I’ll fall all the way
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
You walked in soft
With jasmine on your sleeve
My whole chest shook
Like it knew you’d leave
Gold rings on your hand
Little henna lines
You laughed at my joke
Now I’m out of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name slow
Let it stay on your tongue
One more look
And I’m already spun
Hold that stare
Don’t let it go cold
I was fine before
Now I’m losing control
[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If you pull me close
I’ll fall all the way
[Verse 2]
Your key on the table
Your scarf in the rain
I trace your side of the bed
Like a prayer with your name
I tried to act cool
But I never can
One touch from your hand
And I’m gone again
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name slow
Let it stay on your tongue
One more look
And I’m already spun
Hold that stare
Don’t let it go cold
I was fine before
Now I’m losing control
[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If you pull me close
I’ll fall all the way
[Bridge]
Maybe love is just this
A door left open wide
Your laugh in my blood
Your hands on my mind
If you walk away now
I’ll still feel the pull
I don’t need forever
Just you, here, whole
[Final Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If you pull me close
I’ll fall all the way
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
My heart says your name
And it won’t sit right
