[Intro] (Pitched-down vocals, soft rain SFX fading into warm 808s) Wait right here… yeah… Stars feel closer tonight… (Echoed ad-lib: I’ll be back… I promise…) [Verse 1] Wait right here, I’m chasing daylight Running from the dark but it follows my shadow I know I ain’t easy, I know I ain’t stable But you see the good in me under the battle I been gone too long, nights feel endless Writing my regrets on hotel mirrors Every time you cry, I feel it inside But I don’t know how to love you fearless I keep saying soon, I keep saying later Life movin’ fast, got my heart in danger If you hold me down through the rough parts I’ll come back stronger, not a stranger [Pre-Chorus] I know you tired of waitin’ on dreams Tired of lies I don’t mean Clock keep tickin’, love feels weak But you still here believin’ in me [Chorus] So wait right here, I’ll find my way back Even when the road feel off-track I’m not perfect, I know that But your love keep pullin’ me back Wait right here through the long nights Through the cold air and the streetlights If I make it through my mistakes I’ll be yours when the sun rise [Verse 2] Money on my mind but my heart stay broke Smoke in the room, tryna cope with hope Every promise I made, I bend, I break But you still see more than the ghost I wrote Your friends say I’m bad news headlines Say I’m all pain, no plan But they don’t see the nights I pray Just tryna be a better man If I fall again, would you still stay? If I lose it all, would you walk away? I don’t got much, just truth in my chest And a love I don’t know how to say [Pre-Chorus 2] I feel time slippin’ through my hands Like smoke I can’t command I’m tryna build a future But I’m fightin’ who I am [Chorus] So wait right here, don’t close that door I’m learnin’ things I ignored before I been lost but I’m searchin’ more For a reason, for you, for sure Wait right here, just one more night I’ll come back clean, I’ll come back right If love still lives in your heart I’ll protect it with my life [Bridge] (Stripped guitar, soft background hum) If the stars fall out the sky Would you still see me shine? If I lose myself again Would you help me find my mind? I don’t need fame, I don’t need praise I just need you to stay When the world too loud for me You the quiet that saves [Verse 3] I’m not a hero, I’m barely okay Still learnin’ how to love the right way Every scar on my soul got your name Every prayer sound the same If tomorrow comes and I’m gone Know I tried, I held on Every song I ever wrote Was a letter sayin’ you belong [Final Chorus] So wait right here, I’m comin’ home Through the dark, through the unknown I been weak but I been real And your love’s the only thing I feel Wait right here, don’t fade away I’m changin’ more than words can say If you still believe in me I’ll be better than yesterday [Outro] (Rain returns, soft guitar echoes) Wait right here… I’ll be back… Stars don’t lie… I’m still yours… (808s fade, distant echo) …still yours…
