[Verse 1] You pin each petal to the calendar page Tell the warm wind, “Wait your turn” The garden’s wearing its Sunday best While the peaches hang green and learn [Pre-Chorus] You count the buds like borrowed gold And keep the gate on a chain But every little bloom you save Is asking for the rain [Chorus] Stay, stay, spring—don’t turn the page You keep the blossoms under glass Stay, stay, spring—hold back the days But summer’s tapping through the grass One-two, skip—your careful heart says “wait” One-two, skip—the fruit won’t hesitate You clutch each flower till the colors drain Then call it love when the season stays the same [Verse 2] You dress the roses in tiny coats And scold the bees for moving on The clock wears petals over its face You swear the year has simply paused [Pre-Chorus] You count the buds like borrowed gold And keep the gate on a chain But every little bloom you save Is asking for the rain [Chorus] Stay, stay, spring—don’t turn the page You keep the blossoms under glass Stay, stay, spring—hold back the days But summer’s tapping through the grass One-two, skip—your careful heart says “wait” One-two, skip—the fruit won’t hesitate You clutch each flower till the colors drain Then call it love when the season stays the same [Bridge] A blossom isn’t happier pressed Between the dates you wouldn’t cross The branch can bend and still be blessed A little change is not a loss [Final Chorus] Stay, stay, spring—don’t turn the page You keep the blossoms under glass Stay, stay, spring—now let the days Bring all the sweetness they can pass One-two, skip—your careful heart says “wait” One-two, skip—the fruit won’t hesitate You can love the bloom and let it wane The year keeps turning; let it change [Outro] Let it change Let it change
