The Afternoon That Stayed

[Title: The Afternoon That Stayed] [Verse 1] Pink curtains breathing in the summer air Cakes we never ate still sitting there The light came in like it had nowhere to be And stayed a little longer, same as me [Pre-Chorus] I know this kind of quiet never keeps It softens at the edges, then it sleeps [Chorus] But oh, this afternoon With the mountains in the window And the world on mute I want to stay right here Where the sweetness hasn't faded And the flowers are still new [Verse 2] You poured the tea and didn't say a word The gentlest conversation I have heard Outside the trees were doing what they do And all of it was ordinary, all of it was you [Pre-Chorus] I know this kind of quiet never keeps It softens at the edges, then it sleeps [Chorus] But oh, this afternoon With the mountains in the window And the world on mute I want to stay right here Where the sweetness hasn't faded And the flowers are still new [Bridge] Nothing has to mean a thing To still mean everything Let the light stay, let it stay [Outro] Pink curtains breathing in the summer air Cakes we never ate still sitting there
