Stay A Little While

You left your cup on the sill Paper rim half full still I watched the rain miss the glass Tried to act like it was fast My hands stayed in my pockets Like I had nothing to say But your name sat in my throat And never went away I do that thing Look away first I keep it cool When it hurts Don’t go too far Stay a little while I’m fine I’m fine But I like your smile Don’t go too far Keep it on the line I’m fine I’m fine Stay a little while You laughed like you knew my game Like you saw right through the frame I said yeah with a shrug You said boy you’re such a bluff Your sleeve brushed mine by the door Now the whole room feels too loud I’m trying hard to disappear But you pull me back somehow I do that thing Look away first I keep it cool When it hurts Don’t go too far Stay a little while I’m fine I’m fine But I like your smile Don’t go too far Keep it on the line I’m fine I’m fine Stay a little while If I’m honest I want the quiet I want your hand On my sleeve tonight No big words No grand plan Just you here And me if I can Don’t go too far Stay a little while I’m fine I’m fine But I like your smile Don’t go too far Keep it on the line I’m fine I’m fine Stay a little while
