Stay A Little Longer (Reimagined by CenturyNew)

Still up. The pipes knock once, then let it go A taxi passes, and the block goes still The blinds turn gray, one bar at a time I try to think of anything else Take one thought around the room Then another around the block Every turn inside my head Brings me back to you I can’t tell you what to call this But my chest knows when you move Stay a little longer tonight Don’t disappear with the morning light The world’s too loud, but you’re all I hear Stay a little longer tonight (A little longer) You don’t say much, I get it Your thumb moves once across my hand That small answer says enough More than either of us planned The clock keeps going, we stay still And somehow that feels full For a while, you are the place I don’t have to explain myself Maybe your alarm rings Maybe you leave before the block wakes Maybe we smile, pull on our shoes, and call this less than it was Maybe the window goes pale, the buses start, and every other sound comes back You can go when you need to I know I need you close “The city sleeps, but I’m awake” “Every road leads back to you” Stay a little longer tonight Don’t disappear with the morning light I know I’ve got no case but wanting you here Stay a little longer tonight Let it wait, let it wait (Let it wait) Just a little longer… Right here.
