[Intro]
Whispered prayers in the quiet, I count the seconds till you stay
[Verse 1]
I wear your name like a promise, but fear keeps slipping in between
I carry the weather of our days, the weight of every dusky green
If you reach for me, I’ll meet you there, but I’m begging you to choose
To hold this near, not just when I’m near, but when I’m aching too
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you’ll stay through the storms and the miles between us
Tell me I’m enough when I doubt, when I’m not sure I’m deserving
[Chorus]
I’m here, stay here, don’t let the world pull you away
I need your arms as my gravity, your heartbeat to anchor my day
If I’m the shore, you’re the tide I crave, the constant I can depend on
Choose me again, and again, till the light is gone
[Verse 2]
I lay my scars like cards on the table, hoping you’ll read them true
That devotion isn’t quiet, it’s the loudest thing I do for you
I’m asking for a language that lasts beyond a single kiss
A promise that you’ll be here tomorrow, and every dawn like this
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you’ll stay through the storms and the miles between us
Tell me I’m enough when I doubt, when I’m not sure I’m deserving
[Chorus]
I’m here, stay here, don’t let the world pull you away
I need your arms as my gravity, your heartbeat to anchor my day
If I’m the shore, you’re the tide I crave, the constant I can depend on
Choose me again, and again, till the light is gone
[Bridge]
Can you carry this with me, not just me carrying you?
Fall into the quiet of trust, where only we remain true
[Chorus]
I’m here, stay here, don’t let the world pull you away
I need your arms as my gravity, your heartbeat to anchor my day
If I’m the shore, you’re the tide I crave, the constant I can depend on
Choose me again, and again, till the light is gone
[Outro]
Stay, stay with me, through every season and all our weather
I’ll be here, forever tethered, choosing you, forever and ever
