[Verse 1] I was a cold train running through the rain No direction, no shelter, no name Then your eyes lit a fire in the dark Like cathedral candles inside my heart You moved slow like a river at night Silk and thunder in the moonlight And every scar I tried to hide away Turned to gold when you said my name Your hands on my soul like a prayer Like heaven was calling my name And somewhere between the past and now You became the home I dream about [Pre-Chorus] If the storm comes close, I’ll hold the flame If the whole world breaks, I’ll stay the same You don’t have to carry this alone My heart will always be your home [Chorus] Stay close to me Stay close to me Like oceans ache to touch the shore Stay close to me Stay close to me Like silence waiting for a dream Stay close to me Stay close to me Like stars that burn eternally Stay close to me Stay close to me Even time can’t pull you out of reach You’re my past, my now, my destiny [Verse 2] We were two old ghosts in different rooms Learning love from unfinished wounds But your laughter fell like summer rain Washing every fear I couldn’t name Now the future dances in your skin In the little ways you pull me in Like coffee steaming on a winter day Like a safe place I was meant to find [Pre-Chorus] If the storm comes close, I’ll hold the flame If the whole world breaks, I’ll stay the same You don’t have to carry this alone My heart will always be your home [Chorus] Stay close to me Stay close to me Like oceans ache to touch the shore Stay close to me Stay close to me Like silence waiting for a dream Stay close to me Stay close to me Like stars that burn eternally Stay close to me Stay close to me Even time can’t pull you out of reach You’re my past, my now, my destiny [Bridge] Your hands on my soul like a prayer Like heaven was calling my name And somewhere between the past and now You became the home I dream about [Final Chorus – softer, hypnotic] Stay close to me Stay close to me Like oceans ache to touch the shore Stay close to me Stay close to me Like silence waiting for a dream Stay close to me Stay close to me Like stars that burn eternally Stay close to me Stay close to me Even time can’t pull you out of reach You’re my past, my now, my destiny
