Text
[Verse 1]
You laugh at all the wrong parts
Talk over all of my lines
Steal all the covers at night
Still I pull you closer
Every time
[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Coffee getting colder on the nightstand
Say it a little softer
All the things you never really planned
We don’t have to name it
Just breathe here on my shoulder
If this is love
Don’t change it
Just stay a little
Stay a little longer
[Verse 2]
You leave your keys on the counter
Shoes in the middle of the hall
I trip and nearly go under
You catch me laughing
Up against the wall
[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Coffee getting colder on the nightstand
Say it a little softer
All the things you never really planned
We don’t have to name it
Just breathe here on my shoulder
If this is love
Don’t change it
Just stay a little
Stay a little longer
[Bridge]
Maybe this is how it’s supposed to feel
Messy and simple and painfully real
If every day is just this
With you
Then every little ordinary thing feels new (oh)
[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Coffee getting colder on the nightstand
Say it a little softer
All the things you never really planned
We don’t have to name it
Just breathe here on my shoulder
If this is love
Don’t change it
Just stay a little
Stay a little longer
You laugh at all the wrong parts
Talk over all of my lines
Steal all the covers at night
Still I pull you closer
Every time
[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Coffee getting colder on the nightstand
Say it a little softer
All the things you never really planned
We don’t have to name it
Just breathe here on my shoulder
If this is love
Don’t change it
Just stay a little
Stay a little longer
[Verse 2]
You leave your keys on the counter
Shoes in the middle of the hall
I trip and nearly go under
You catch me laughing
Up against the wall
[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Coffee getting colder on the nightstand
Say it a little softer
All the things you never really planned
We don’t have to name it
Just breathe here on my shoulder
If this is love
Don’t change it
Just stay a little
Stay a little longer
[Bridge]
Maybe this is how it’s supposed to feel
Messy and simple and painfully real
If every day is just this
With you
Then every little ordinary thing feels new (oh)
[Chorus]
Stay a little longer
Coffee getting colder on the nightstand
Say it a little softer
All the things you never really planned
We don’t have to name it
Just breathe here on my shoulder
If this is love
Don’t change it
Just stay a little
Stay a little longer
Musikstil
Warm acoustic pop ballad with intimate male vocals, close-mic’d guitar and soft brushy drums. Verses stay hushed and conversational; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, gentle piano doubles, and a subtle swell of pad for lift. Bridge pulls instruments back to almost solo voice, then everything returns for a final, hopeful chorus.
