Lyrics
The sun keeps pulling at the window
I feel the morning creeping in
You're still asleep, and I pretend though
That time is something we can bend again
I trace the outline of your shoulder
I count the seconds like a thief
The world outside is getting colder
But here inside — I feel relief
Chorus:
Stay here — don't let the morning find us
Stay here — rewind the hands of time
Stay here — there's nothing waiting for us
Just stay here — and let the world unwind
Verse 2:
I've run through every goodbye I've known
And none of them felt worse than this
The not-yet-gone, the almost-alone
The art of losing in a perfect kiss
So pull the blankets higher, darling
Pretend the sun is just a lie
The world can have its desperate morning
But right now — you and I are why
Bridge:
I know the clock won't listen
I know the sun will rise
But while your hand is still in mine
Let me memorize your eyes
Time can have tomorrow
Time can have the rest
But right now — just for this moment
Let me love you at your best
