awerysopelea - Stay!

Lyrics

[Intro] There are words for beginning. Words for goodbye. But for this— I never found one. [Verse 1] [M] I know the sound of your key in the doorway, the silence before you say you're alright, I know the way that your shoulders get heavy when you've been carrying too much all night. [F] You know the pause in the middle of my sentences, the things I avoid when I talk too fast, we learned every language of each other's damage— just never the words to make it last. [Pre-Chorus] [M] So I say, stay. [F] Quédate. [M] And somehow the same little word sounds different— when it's yours. [Chorus] [F+M] Stay with me— quédate aquí, reste encore, non andare via. If every word I know goes missing, I'll find another way to say— don't let go, no me sueltes, je suis toujours là. Maybe there is no word for this, no perfect sound, no perfect line— but every language in the world still leads me back to you tonight. [Verse 2] [F] I always heard your “maybe” as a warning, you heard the fear inside my “I don't care”, we could close a door without making a sound and somehow leave an earthquake there. [M] I don't remember every argument, I don't remember who was right, but I remember your freezing hands turning warm inside mine. [F] Funny how the smallest things survive us. [M] Funny what refuses to leave. [F] Maybe love is just translation— [M] of everything we couldn't speak. [Pre-Chorus] [F] So I say, stay. [M] Reste. [F] Four letters. [M] One breath. [F+M] A whole world hiding underneath. [Chorus] [F+M] Stay with me— quédate aquí, reste encore, non andare via. If every word I know goes missing, I'll find another way to say— don't let go, no me sueltes, je suis toujours là. Maybe there is no word for this, no perfect sound, no perfect line— but every language in the world still leads me back to you tonight. [Bridge] [M] How do you say “I still choose you” when you're scared of what it means? [F] ¿Cómo digo “no quiero perderte” when you're already halfway leaving? [M] Je ne sais pas. [F] Yo tampoco. [M] Then don't explain it. [F] Just stay. [Break] [F] Stay. [M] Quédate. [F] Reste. [M] Bleib. [F+M] — [Final Chorus] [F+M] Stay with me— quédate aquí, reste encore, non andare via. When every language reaches silence, I'll still know what you're trying to say. Don't let go, no me sueltes, je suis toujours là. Maybe there is no word for this. Maybe there never was. [M] Say my name. [F] Di mi nombre. [M] Dis mon nom. [F] Sag meinen Namen. [F+M] And somehow— I know exactly what you mean. [Outro] There are words for beginning. Words for goodbye. And somewhere between them— us.
