Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left a coat on the chair Cedar and rain in the sleeve I still reach out by habit Like you might walk in to leave The cup by the sink is colder Than it was when you were near And every soft thing in this room Still keeps a trace of you here [Pre-Chorus] I turn the key too slow I let the night come close The silence knows my name And it keeps yours in its fold [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay in my chest I keep your old name Like a song on my breath Stay a little longer Don’t fade away I’m still learning how To love the shape you made [Verse 2] The window has your shadow In the dusk after rain The yellow scarf on the hook Still holds a curve of your frame I fold the days back neatly But they slip through my hands You were the softest part Of all my careful plans [Pre-Chorus] I turn the key too slow I let the night come close The silence knows my name And it keeps yours in its fold [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay in my chest I keep your old name Like a song on my breath Stay a little longer Don’t fade away I’m still learning how To love the shape you made [Bridge] If I hear your laugh in the hall I won’t pretend I’m fine I’ll let it cut like moonlight Through the locks I hide behind Maybe love don’t vanish It just changes its face Sits with me in the dim And leaves your warmth in place [Chorus] Stay a little longer Stay in my chest I keep your old name Like a song on my breath Stay a little longer Don’t fade away I’m still learning how To love the shape you made [Outro] Cedar and rain in the sleeve Cedar and rain in the sleeve Stay a little longer Stay a little longer
