[Verse 1, Female] You leave your presence in the air A little rain still caught in your hair The kettle clicks, the room goes still You say my name; the night bends to your will [Male] I saw your light from down the street And followed rain beneath my feet I almost turned, I almost ran Afraid you'd know me where I stand [Female] The window shakes against the storm Your coat is cold, your hands are warm [Male] I watch the shadows cross your face And feel the whole world lose its place [Pre-Chorus, Alternating] [Female] Come closer, let the hours turn [Male] There's something here we haven't learned [Female] The clock can count, the walls can hear [Male] But nothing matters with you here [Chorus, Both] The night, the night, it opens wide I hear your heart beside mine The night, the night, don't let it end Stay here with me until it bends Until the dark gives up its name Until our voices drown the rain The night, the night, whatever comes Stay until the morning runs [Verse 2, Male] Your silver ring taps on the glass We watch the last bus rolling past And every road I should have known Feels farther now than going home [Female] You draw a map across my hand Like somehow I might understand There's something trembling underneath The words we never dared to speak [Male] There are a thousand things to say [Female] Then don't let morning take them away [Both] And suddenly the room feels small Like there's no world outside at all [Pre-Chorus, Both] Come closer, let the hours turn No more hiding what we've learned Let every guarded word come loose Tonight there's nothing left to lose [Chorus, Both] The night, the night, it opens wide I hear your heart beside mine The night, the night, don't let it end Stay here with me until it bends Until the dark gives up its name Until our voices drown the rain The night, the night, whatever comes Stay until the morning runs [Instrumental] [Emotive fuzz guitar solo, 20 to 25 seconds] [Bridge, Male] If morning finds us where we are With pale blue light replacing stars I won't pretend this meant no more Than rain and shadows at your door [Female] Then leave your fear out in the rain Don't make me lose you twice again I know what morning likes to steal But morning cannot change what's real [Male] I came here carrying every doubt [Female] Then let the silence finally out [Both, Building] No more almost No more maybe No more words we never say Let the windows shake around us Let the storm erase the street If the whole world wakes without us Let it wake We're still here [Breakdown, Sparse Instruments] [Male] The clock says four I should be gone [Female] Then tell me why You're holding on [Male] Because every road beneath the rain Would only lead me here again [Female] Then stay [Male] I'll stay [Female] Say it again [Male] I'll stay [Both] Until there's nothing left to hide [Final Chorus, Both] The night, the night, it opens wide I hear your heart beside mine The night, the night, don't let it end Stay here with me until it bends Until the dark gives up its name Until our voices drown the rain The night, the night, whatever comes We'll stay until the morning runs [Female, Soaring] And if the daylight floods the room [Male] I won't pretend it came too soon [Female] And if the city starts again [Male] I won't become a stranger then [Both, Full Band] Let morning come Let morning try To pull the darkness from the sky The night may end The stars may bend But I am here I am here [Outro, Instruments Drop to Clean Guitar] [Female] The kettle's cold, the sky is blue And morning found me here with you [Male] The rain is gone, the streets begin But I don't want the night to end [Female] You said you'd stay [Male] And here I am [Both] The night may end The daylight wins But something in us never bends [Female, Softly] Stay here with me [Male, Softly] I'm here [Both, Final] Until it bends [Instrumental Outro] [One sustained fuzz guitar chord] [Let it ring out and fade]
