[Intro] Leave the kitchen light on I’ll be there in a minute The kettle sighs, the hallway settles And the whole house listens [Verse 1] You fold the blanket at the corner Like you always do I set your glass beside the book You never quite get through No grand arrival, no perfect words Just your shoulder finding mine And the little pause before we speak Says more than we can write [Pre-Chorus] I used to think love had to prove itself With a fire I could see Now it’s your hand beneath the table Quietly checking in with me [Chorus] Stay here in the ordinary Let the evening take its time There’s a tenderness in knowing What you leave unsaid is mine If tomorrow feels uncertain We don’t have to make it clear Put your heart against my heartbeat And let me meet you here [Verse 2] You tell me where the day went wrong I don’t rush to repair I learn the shape of your silence And keep a little space there Some nights you turn toward the window Some nights you turn to me I’m still learning not to fear the distance That lets two people breathe [Pre-Chorus] And when my own old worries surface You don’t ask them to behave You pull the curtains, warm the room And make the truth feel safe [Chorus] Stay here in the ordinary Let the evening take its time There’s a tenderness in knowing What you leave unsaid is mine If tomorrow feels uncertain We don’t have to make it clear Put your heart against my heartbeat And let me meet you here [Post-Chorus] Mmm, let me meet you here No need to disappear Mmm, I can feel you near Even when the words aren’t clear [Bridge] Maybe falling deeper isn’t thunder Maybe it’s the courage to be known To leave the softer parts uncovered And still believe you won’t let go I have carried every door half-open Waiting for the floor to move But you keep showing up so gently I’m learning how to choose you too [Bridge - Harmony] I’m learning how to choose you too (Choose you, choose you) When the room is dark and quiet (I’ll be here, I’ll be here) Every fragile piece between us Feels like something we can hold [Final Chorus] Stay here in the ordinary Let the evening take its time There’s a tenderness in knowing What you leave unsaid is mine If tomorrow feels uncertain We don’t have to make it clear Put your heart against my heartbeat And let me meet you here [Final Chorus - Lift] Stay here when the morning finds us With the dishes and the light Let devotion live in small things Let it grow without disguise If the world comes asking loudly We can answer when we’re ready Put your heart against my heartbeat And keep your hand in mine [Outro] The kettle cools, the hallway settles Your head is resting near my own No promise dressed in borrowed language Just this room, and being known Mmm, stay a little longer Mmm, let the quiet move I don’t need a perfect ending I just want this truth with you
