Mariam

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mariam in the doorway Shoes half off, bag by the chair Orange peel on the counter You make a whole room stare You laugh like it’s easy Like the hard days never came But I saw the weight on your shoulders And I still say your name [Pre-Chorus] If you fall, I’m right here If the dark comes in, I’ll stay One small spark in your hands now Can turn the whole block gray [Chorus] Mariam, Mariam Stay a little longer Mariam, Mariam You make me feel stronger Mariam, Mariam When the world gets loud Mariam, Mariam You pull me through the crowd [Verse 2] Your phone face down on the table Tea gone cold by the sink You say you don’t need saving But baby, I can think Of the miles you’ve been carrying In those tired, steady feet You keep moving like water Making broken things complete [Pre-Chorus] If you fall, I’m right here If the dark comes in, I’ll stay One small spark in your hands now Can turn the whole block gray [Chorus] Mariam, Mariam Stay a little longer Mariam, Mariam You make me feel stronger Mariam, Mariam When the world gets loud Mariam, Mariam You pull me through the crowd [Bridge] And if your voice goes quiet I’ll hear it anyway I know the roads you hide on I know the names you won’t say So take my hand, Mariam Let the night come down You were never made to carry All of this alone now [Final Chorus] Mariam, Mariam Stay a little longer Mariam, Mariam You make me feel stronger Mariam, Mariam When the world gets loud Mariam, Mariam You pull me through the crowd Mariam, Mariam Stay a little longer Mariam, Mariam You make me feel stronger
