Please Stay

Lying in my bed stuck inside my head with thoughts of you Our memory dances, but the light's leaving soon Caught in the silence of the night I trace the outlines of where you might have been right And the clock keeps ticking, but your laughter's still here Filling up the silence like you had no fear I want to say the words but they're tangled up tight You've got the key, babe, to my heart tonight So stay for a while, let's lose track of time Pull the stars a little closer, let them shine We'll drown out the echoes of the world outside Just you and me, baby, let's enjoy our time The city's sleeping, but my heart's wide awake Every moment with you feels like the best risk to take Swirling like the leaves in the autumn breeze Just a breath away from falling to my knees We're painting memories in the colors of dusk Holding on to magic, in your touch I trust If I could freeze this moment, I'd find a way to stay But the dawn is creeping in, it pulls you away So stay for a while, let's lose track of time Pull the stars a little closer, let them shine We'll drown out the echoes of the world outside Just you and me, baby, let's enjoy our time And I know life can pull us in different directions But tonight you're my compass, my one connection With every fleeting second, I'll hold you tight Let's make this moment ours, in the fading light So stay for a while, let's lose track of time Pull the stars a little closer, let them shine We'll drown out the echoes of the world outside Just you and me, baby, let's enjoy our time So stay for a while, as the sunshine grows bright In this dance of desire, it feels so right, such delight When the morning comes, if you must go away Just remember this moment, and how we chose to stay
