Stay For The Sunrise

Lyrics

Verse 1
You say you're tired of the calendar
Every square just feels the same
Empty cups on the windowsill
Unread notes with your name

You laugh and say you're “just joking”
But your eyes don’t match your smile
You pretend that you’re disappearing
Have you felt alone this long
This while?

Chorus
Stay for the sunrise
You don’t have to love this night
You can hate every minute
I’ll still sit here by your side
You don’t have to be okay
You don’t have to be alright
Just breathe through one more hour
Stay for the sunrise

Verse 2
You say the world would keep turning
If you quietly slipped out
Like a song no one remembers
Like a face lost in the crowd

But who’ll answer my late phone calls?
Who’ll roll their eyes at my jokes?
Who’ll trace shapes in the condensation
Write small hearts in the smoke?

Chorus
Stay for the sunrise
You don’t have to love this night
You can hate every minute
I’ll still sit here by your side
You don’t have to be okay
You don’t have to be alright
Just breathe through one more hour
Stay for the sunrise

Bridge
Call me when the dark gets louder (hey)
Call me when the floor feels thin
If you can’t find any reasons
You can borrow mine again

Chorus
Stay for the sunrise
You don’t have to win this fight
You can shake
You can fall apart
I won’t leave you out of sight
You don’t have to be okay
You just have to stay tonight
Just breathe through one more hour
Stay for the sunrise
