[Verse 1] You came in with the rain still on you Left your keys beside the door Said you didn't want to talk about it So I didn't ask anymore We sat beneath the kitchen light Listening to the pipes complain You watched the shadows on the ceiling Like they knew you by your name [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to tell me Where you've been tonight Just put your hand in mine And let the room go quiet [Chorus] Stay awhile Let the world keep turning Stay awhile There's nothing here you're earning You don't need a reason You don't need a plan If all you can give me Is your hand in my hand Stay awhile Until you feel like yourself again [Verse 2] Morning found us by the window Two cups cooling on the sill You were smiling at the silence Like the silence wasn't still You told me about the places You were thinking you might go I said, “Maybe take me with you” You said, “Maybe I won't know” [Pre-Chorus] We don't need forever We don't need tonight explained Sometimes being understood Is simply being allowed to stay [Chorus] Stay awhile Let the world keep turning Stay awhile There's nothing here you're earning You don't need a reason You don't need a plan If all you can give me Is your hand in my hand Stay awhile Until you feel like yourself again [Bridge] And if the morning takes you I won't ask you to remain I'll remember how you looked When you finally stopped pretending And if you lose your way again You know where I'll be Not waiting at the window Just leaving on the light [Final Chorus] Stay awhile Let the whole world keep turning Stay awhile There's nothing here you're earning You don't need forever You don't need to understand If all we have is this moment Then I'll take it while I can Stay awhile Until the weight begins to lift Stay awhile You don't have to disappear [Outro] Stay awhile Just stay awhile You don't have to say a thing Stay awhile Just stay awhile
