[INTRO — VINYL / CLOSE MALE VOCAL] [vinyl crackle] Come a little closer. Not forever. Just long enough for the whole room to disappear. [soft piano] I don't need a reason, I don't need a plan, just the quiet of your breathing and your hand inside my hand. [VERSE 1] There’s a little static on your skin, little sparks where the night gets in, streetlights bending through the glass, making every second feel like it might last. You laugh low, I forget my name, whole damn city feels far away, clock on the wall keeps losing time, and I don’t really mind. I’ve been running through the noise, through the neon, through the endless little voices saying move on, then you lean in and the whole world slows, like somebody cut the power to everything I know. [PRE-CHORUS] Stay right here, don’t say too much, let the silence do the talking, let the darkness hold us up. [CHORUS — MALE + FEMALE HARMONIES] Put the night against my shoulder, let the whole world disappear, we don’t have to make it perfect, we just have to stay right here. If tomorrow tries to find us, let it knock and let it wait, we can hide inside this moment while the stars forget the date. [DROP 1 — LIQUID DNB BLOOMS] [CHOPPED VOCALS] Stay… right… here… [rolling drums] [deep sub] [glassy synth wash] [VERSE 2 — RAP / HALF-SUNG] I got ghosts in the rear-view, dust in the lungs, songs I never finished, words still stuck on my tongue, little wars I survived that nobody saw, little cracks in the ceiling I kept staring at before. But your face in the low light makes the room feel new, like the universe got bored and accidentally made you. And maybe love ain't thunder, maybe love ain't fire, maybe it’s just two tired people sitting close beside the wire. Maybe it’s the way you look at me when I’m halfway gone, like you somehow hear the melody before I find the song. [PRE-CHORUS] Stay right here, don’t chase the dawn, we’ve been looking for forever in the places we were wrong. [CHORUS — BIGGER] Put the night against my shoulder, let the whole world disappear, we don’t have to make it perfect, we just have to stay right here. If tomorrow tries to find us, let it knock and let it wait, we can hide inside this moment while the stars forget the date. [FAKE DROP] Three… two… [Silence] Forget it. [DROP 2 — FILTHY / EUPHORIC] [PHAT BASS] [LIQUID BREAKS] [PITCH-DIVING VOCAL CHOPS] “Stay right here…” “Stay right here…” [female harmony rises] [BRIDGE — WEIGHTLESS] No drums. Just breathe. If all of this is temporary, then temporary is enough. If every beautiful thing disappears, that only makes it beautiful while it’s here. [soft female vocal] Hold me where the noise can’t reach. Hold me where the clocks can’t speak. [FINAL CHORUS — FULL VOCALS] Put the night against my shoulder, let the whole world disappear, we don’t have to make it perfect, we just have to stay right here. If tomorrow tries to find us, let it knock and let it wait, we can hide inside this moment while the stars forget the date. Put your heartbeat next to mine now, let the silence turn to sound, if the universe keeps spinning, we can stay here on the ground. [FINAL DROP — HUGE / BEAUTIFUL] [soaring female harmonies] [rolling DnB drums] [dirty elastic bass] [guitar swells] [vocal chops spiralling] Stay right here. Stay right here. Stay— [beat cuts] right here. [OUTRO — VINYL] [crackle] Come a little closer. Not forever. Just long enough.
