[Verse 1] Late cup of coffee Lipstick on the rim You laugh at nothing Then you lean back in Your eyes say “maybe” Your hands say “stay” You tap the table Like you’re counting ways [Chorus] (Oh) you got me singing in midnight echoes Your name soft-shaded on my tongue And the room fades out to a blue halo While your shadow dances on my lungs Mm, stay a little closer, slow Let the backing voices in my head Hum your “yes” so low [Verse 2] You quote some poet Half of it’s wrong Still I’m agreeing Just to stay this long Glass catching lamplight Ice melting slow You start a story I don’t want to know [Chorus] (Oh) you got me singing in midnight echoes Your name soft-shaded on my tongue And the room fades out to a blue halo While your shadow dances on my lungs Mm, stay a little closer, slow Let the backing voices in my head Hum your “yes” so low [Bridge] [Soft backing “doo-doo, doo-doo” under lead] Every little word you drop Finds a place to land in me If I said “stop,” would you stop? Or would you slip in deeper, deep? (yeah) [Chorus] You got me singing in midnight echoes Your name soft-shaded on my tongue And the room fades out to a blue halo While your shadow dances on my lungs Mm, stay a little closer, slow Let the backing voices in my head Turn this “maybe” into “Don’t you ever let me go”
