[Verse 1 — Rowan] You brought two coffees through the lab’s back door, I stayed past midnight, heard the rain on the floor. Your hand brushed mine; the figures slipped away, I saw your careful heart forget what it should say. [Verse 2 — Herbert] I knew the numbers, kept my voice composed, You asked what a life is worth when nobody knows. I listened for your steps when the hallway went blue, Kept the kettle warm, kept a cup there for you. [Chorus — Together] Come close, let the unknown have its place, No proof could measure what I see in your face. We didn’t know a heart could turn this way, Now every morning, you’re the reason I stay. [Verse 3 — Rowan] I love you, but I won’t watch them pay For one more answer you could leave for another day. Can you let one question stand alone, Take my hand, walk these blocks back home? [Verse 4 — Herbert] I still want answers; that hunger runs deep, But I shut that door and chose the promise to keep. Your cup sat waiting right beside mine, I chose to stay; you gave me time. [Chorus — Together] Come close, let the unknown have its place, No proof could measure what I see in your face. We didn’t know a heart could turn this way, Now every morning, you’re the reason I stay. [Bridge — Rowan] You call it chemistry; I call it grace. [Herbert] I lose every answer when I touch your face. [Together] The coffee goes cold; the small flame leans, We found something wider than what can be seen. No need to solve it, no need to let go, I’m here in the morning; I’m here when you know. [Final Chorus — Together] Come close, let the unknown have its place, No proof could measure what I see in your face. We didn’t know a heart could turn this way, Now every morning, you’re the reason I stay. [Outro — Together] Two cups waiting as the day comes in, Stay beside me; let the quiet begin.
