[Intro] [Verse 1] Rain draws lines across the glass I’m turning pages from our past and there I find your familiar hand pressed between dreams we never planned [Pre-Chorus] You wrote “stay” like you meant forever then slipped away before we could hold together [Chorus] I keep your notes in a drawer that sticks next to old receipts and broken picks they whisper when the house goes still and leave a space no time can fill Just wait... just call... I still hear your footsteps in the hall [Inst: Sustained strings swell, breathy vocal pad, 4 bars] [Verse 2] Teacup rings remain on the desk the clock still rests at half past six you promised you'd call from somewhere down the road but every day just deepened the weight you left to hold [Pre-Chorus] Now every storm speaks your name rolling through these empty rooms again [Chorus] I keep your notes in a drawer that sticks next to photographs with fading prints they come alive when the night grows thin like you never really left back then Just wait... come back... I'm still reaching through the dark [Bridge: Timbre shift—cello solo enters] Funny how paper can hold what's true better than all the words we once lived through I'd let it burn and free this restless mind but I'd rather miss you than leave your love behind [Chorus] I keep your notes in a drawer that sticks though I've read them a thousand times they crackle softly like dying flame still keeping alive what remains Please stay... come see... love, come back home to me [Outro: Orchestral lift, piano fade, room reverb tail, 8 bars]
