One More Minute

[Extended Instrumental Intro — three-note motif over a soft pulsing bass]

[Verse 1 – Female]
The street is quiet, the night is thin
I should be going, but stay again
Your words fall softly, then disappear
I take one step, then turn back here

[Verse 2 – Male]
The clock keeps moving, I let it run
I thought goodnight meant we were done
But there’s another thing to say
And neither of us walks away

[Pre-Chorus – Together]
No big promise, no grand design
Just your hand close to mine

[Chorus – Duet]
One more minute, stay right here
One more moment before we disappear
One more minute, let it last
I don’t want this evening in the past

One more minute, nothing planned
Just the quiet and your hand
One more minute, then we’ll see
If you’ll stay a little longer with me

[Instrumental Drop — three-note motif joins the bass and synths]

[Verse 3 – Female]
A little laugh, a softer tone
I didn’t notice how late we’d grown
The space between us feels less wide
I don’t feel ready to say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus – Together]
No big promise, no grand design
Just your hand close to mine

[Chorus – Duet]
One more minute, stay right here
One more moment before we disappear
One more minute, let it last
I don’t want this evening in the past

One more minute, nothing planned
Just the quiet and your hand
One more minute, then we’ll see
If you’ll stay a little longer with me

[Breakdown – Male and Female]
(Male) Shall I walk you home?
(Female) You can walk me slow.
(Male) Will you meet again?
(Female) I think you know.

[Build – Together]
One more minute
One more step
A little more we haven’t said

[Final Chorus – Duet]
One more minute, stay right here
One more moment before we disappear
One more minute, let it last
I don’t want this evening in the past

One more minute, nothing planned
Just the quiet and your hand
One more minute, then we’ll see
If you’ll stay a little longer with me

[Extended Instrumental Outro — motif turns warmer, leading into the next track]
