Lyrics

Sunday light spills across the quilt

I trace the seam where your shoulder ends

The kettle hums a patient tune

You stir and mumble something soft

Pre-Chorus

And I hold it close

Hold it like a borrowed thing

That someone kind forgot to take

Chorus

Stay right here a little longer

Stay right here with me

The morning's slow and golden

And nowhere I need to be

Stay right here a little longer

Stay right here with me

Verse 2

Your hair's a mess of tangled sun

I count the freckles on your arm

Outside the neighbor's dog complains

We laugh and let the silence stay

Pre-Chorus

And I hold it close

Hold it like a photograph

That no one ever thought to frame

Chorus

Stay right here a little longer

Stay right here with me

The morning's slow and golden

And nowhere I need to be

Stay right here a little longer

Stay right here with me

Bridge

Years from now I'll try to find this

Tucked between the ordinary days

Soft and warm and slightly crooked

Just like us

Just like us

Chorus

Stay right here a little longer

Stay right here with me

The morning's slow and golden

And nowhere I need to be

Stay right here a little longer

Stay right here with me

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Stay with me

Mm-hmm
