Stay A Little Longer

[Verse 1]
You laugh at all the wrong parts
Steal my fries
Call it cuisine
You leave your sweater on my chair
Just so you’ve got a reason to be seen

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“It’s late
I should go”
Keys in hand
Moving slow
Every goodbye at the door
Feels closer than before

[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Just five more minutes
Let my heartbeat wander
Where your hand is in it
If this is how forever starts
On this couch
In your old cardigan
Stay a little longer
Till longer never ends

[Verse 2]
Your coffee ring on my table
Your movie paused halfway through
My phone full of little pictures
Of every quiet side of you

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“I’m really leaving”
Shoes on
Still daydreaming
Every step back down the hall
I’m hoping you’ll just fall

[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Just five more minutes
Let my heartbeat wander
Where your hand is in it
If this is how forever starts
On this couch
In your old cardigan
Stay a little longer
Till longer never ends

[Bridge]
We don’t need fireworks
We don’t need big plans (oh no)
Just the hum of the fridge
And the warmth of your hands
If time’s gonna run
Let it run out here
Counting all the freckles
That brought you near (yeah)

[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Just five more minutes
Let my heartbeat wander
Where your hand is in it
If this is how forever starts
On this couch
Hearts talking again
Stay a little longer
Till longer never ends
