Staying Right Here

[Intro] Soft rain tapping the window, I’m listening for your breath A heartbeat miles away, still I feel you near to death [Verse 1] I trace your name in the dark like constellations on my skin Your laughter echoes kindness I’ve learned to memorize within If distance is a wall, I’m the stubborn flame at its core I’m tethered to your gravity, I ache but I want you more [Pre-Chorus] Tell me you’re not leaving, tell me you’ll stay through the night I’ll swallow the fear, I’ll walk through the shadow for your light [Chorus] Stop, don’t let me fall into empty air, stay in my sight I’m stubborn as dawn, I won’t walk away in spite This fate feels written, our names in the fire we bear Hold on to me, love, I’m here, I’m staying right here [Verse 2] Your character shines like a compass when the storms arise Your courage is a harbor where my longing finally lies If silence is a river, I’ll dive in and learn your truth Even if you don’t answer, I’ll guard the bonds of our proof [Pre-Chorus] Don’t walk away in the night, don’t undo what we’ve become I’ll fight through the thunder for us until the morning comes [Chorus] Stop, don’t let me fall into empty air, stay in my sight I’m stubborn as dawn, I won’t walk away in spite This fate feels written, our names in the fire we bear Hold on to me, love, I’m here, I’m staying right here [Bridge] If love is a whisper, I’ll shout it until you hear If you doubt tomorrow, I’ll stay loyal, I won’t disappear [Chorus] Stop, don’t let me fall into empty air, stay in my sight I’m stubborn as dawn, I won’t walk away in spite This fate feels written, our names in the fire we bear Hold on to me, love, I’m here, I’m staying right here [Outro] Stay, stay with me, let the distance fade away I’ll be the vow you can’t erase, the night you’ll never betray
