Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh
Verse 1
He woke up with the morning
Eyes like buttons quiet and round
Held his heart in silence
Where my old mistakes are found
Watched me keep my almosts
Like pennies in a seam
Lifted them one by one to see
What still might gleam
Pre-Chorus
He wouldn't accuse he'd hold the space instead
A lovin steady patience where lonely things are met
Chorus
I stay I stay by your side
I stay I stay do not hide
Oh no oh no oh no
I stay I stay by your side
Verse 2
He'd press his palms to mine and say it's not so bad
Every loose and trembling thread is patient to be had
Quietly sad for chances that I let go
Not angry just a softer ache that wants to help me grow
He'd calm with forgiveness the places I can't reach
Teach me to open doors and walk across the bridge
Pre-Chorus
He'd give me back my courage in the space between his palms
A promise made of breath and simple calms
Chorus
I stay I stay by your side
I stay I stay do not hide
Oh no oh no oh no
I stay I stay by your side
Bridge
So keep him near though he is only you
The darkness won't be over that part is true
But you have stopped running
And that will do
That will do
That will do
Drop
I stay
I stay
I stay
I stay
Chorus
I stay I stay by your side
I stay I stay do not hide
Oh no oh no oh no
I stay I stay by your side
