[Intro] [Verse 1] The sun hangs low, the air stays warm, red leaves are gathering along the road. We took the longer way again, your shoulder brushing against my arm. The leaves above us turned from green to carmine, though evening still was strangely warm. You said my name, then looked away, as if its sound might give too much away. [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] So we walked slower than we had to, as if the road might never end. [Chorus] Stay with me, let this autumn evening hold us, while the last warm air moves through the trees. Nothing worth remembering lasts forever, not even stolen hours like these. No questions waiting to be answered — just you, just me, here and now, this evening. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Your shadow stretched across the street, mine moved beside it, almost one. We talked of places we might go, and left the harder words unsaid. Maybe we both already knew some roads are only passing through. [Pre-Chorus] So we walked slower than we had to, as if the road might never end. [Chorus] Stay with me, let this autumn evening hold us, while the last warm air moves through the trees. Nothing worth remembering lasts forever, not even stolen hours like these. No questions waiting to be answered — just you, just me, here and now, this evening. [Interlude] [Bridge] Maybe love was never meant to promise us forever. Maybe some things become more true because they cannot last together. And if the leaves have changed by tomorrow, this night is ours, and that must be enough. [Outro] The last amber light begins to fade, your hand is warm inside my own. We choose the longest road we can, tomorrow can wait a little longer. [End]
