[Verse 1] You drew our future on café napkins Pencil smudges on your hands I quoted old books You traced my jawline Said "One day you'll understand" Ticket printouts on your dresser Venice written in bold I had a ring inside my pocket But I just kissed your nose [Chorus] So go I’ll stay I’ll write your name in every page One year I’ll wait I’ll grow old in a single day If all of this breaks me I’ll start again I’m saving this hand For your hand [Verse 2] Screens between us Lagging laughter Your hair longer Mine tied back You showed me churches Crooked windows I showed you my laundry stack You talked in sketches Arches Channels The way the water held the sky I hid that box under my mattress Practiced how to say "be mine" [Chorus] So go I’ll stay I’ll write your name in every page One year I’ll wait I’ll grow old in a single day If all of this breaks me I’ll start again I’m saving this hand For your hand [Bridge] Then the airport smell of coffee Your suitcase bruised and worn You said "I brought you something" Voice already torn "In a hallway after midnight On a rooftop by the sea I let someone else lean in Took a part that should be yours from me" My heartbeat felt like thunder But my face was made of glass Every moment I’d imagined Shattered Scattered in the grass I saw gondolas and strangers In the silence in your eyes Every "always" we had promised Tilting sideways in my mind [Pre-Chorus] You said "Say that you hate me Say you’ll turn and walk away" I said "I’m not a verdict I am choosing you today" (yeah) [Chorus] So stay I’ll stay We’ll write this hurt on a clean page Right here This day We won’t throw a whole year away If all of this breaks us We’ll start again I’m still holding out The same hand [Outro] In the parking lot fluorescent Palms still shaking Eyes still wet I pulled the ring out Fingers trembling Said "I haven’t changed my mind yet" You said "How can you still want me?" As I slipped it on your skin "I studied doubt for years " I answered "And I still believe in this" So stay I’ll stay Let the hard truth have its say Right here We choose Something cracked and something true If all of this breaks us We’ll start again You whispered "I do" I just said "amen"
