Stay The Night
Luke Lotus
The city's quiet but my head is loud
Every thought of you keeps circling back
I told myself I was done reaching out
But here I am, falling through the cracks
I know tomorrow I'll regret this call
I know your name still ruins me
But right now the loneliness is heavier
Than the truth I don't want to see
I don't need promises or something real
I don't need a future or a plan
I just need the sound of your breathing
To remind me I'm still human
(I, I, I, I, I, I)
So if this is a mistake, let it be gentle
(I, I, I, I, I, I)
Let it hurt me slow, not fast
(Oh, I, I, I, I)
I just need one more moment
Before I have to face the past
Stay the night
Don't ask why
Don't talk about the morning light
Stay the night
Just be here
Pretend we're not afraid of what's near
Stay the night
Hold me close
Like I'm the only thing you chose
Stay the night
Then go away
I can't lose you again, but I need you today
Stay
Just until the dark is gone (I've been missing you)
Stay
Just until I'm strong
Your hands still feel like memory
Like something I never unlearned
Every touch is a small betrayal
Of all the lessons I've earned
We're standing on the edge of a goodbye
Trying not to look down
We both know this is temporary
But temporary still feels like now
I'll pretend I don't see the ending
You pretend you don't see me break
We'll lie to each other for a few more hours
And call it a mistake
(I, I, I, I, I, I)
So don't say my name like it matters
Don't make me believe it could last
(Oh, yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I)
Just stay inside this moment
And let me forget the past
Stay the night (night, yeah)
Don't ask why
Don't talk about the morning light
Stay the night
Just be here
Pretend we're not afraid of what's near
Stay the night
Hold me close (ooh, yeah)
Like I'm the only thing you chose
Stay the night
Then go away
I can't lose you again, but I need you today
Stay
Until the ache slows down
Stay
Until I don't feel alone now
If this is the last time, let me feel it
Let me memorize the way you breathe
Let me pretend we're still something
I don't have the strength to leave
Tomorrow I'll be stronger, I swear
Tomorrow I'll finally let you go
But tonight I'm just a heart that's tired
Of sleeping alone
Stay the night
Don't ask why
Don't talk about the morning light
Stay the night
Just be here
Pretend we're not afraid of what's near
Stay the night
Hold me close
Like I'm the only thing you chose
Stay the night
Then go away
I can't lose you again, but I need you today
Stay
Just for tonight
