Chella, Come Closer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Chella, you leave your coat on the chair Rain on the sleeves, salt in your hair You say the whole train stalled by the bay Then laugh like the delay can wait [Pre-Chorus] You turn a paper cup in your hands Make a small room feel less planned I catch the grin you try to hide And let the evening change its mind [Chorus] Chella, come a little closer Tell me what you meant to say Chella, let the night move slower We don’t have to name the day Stay while the kettle starts to sing Stay till the windows lose their steam Chella, come a little closer Let this moment be enough for me [Verse 2] You draw a map on a grocery receipt Two crooked arrows, one blue street Your old blue scarf slips to the floor You say you’ve never been there before [Pre-Chorus] You turn a paper cup in your hands Make a small room feel less planned I catch the grin you try to hide And let the evening change its mind [Chorus] Chella, come a little closer Tell me what you meant to say Chella, let the night move slower We don’t have to name the day Stay while the kettle starts to sing Stay till the windows lose their steam Chella, come a little closer Let this moment be enough for me [Bridge] If morning finds us talking still With crumbs beside the windowsill I’ll walk you past the corner store And ask you what you’re smiling for [Final Chorus] Chella, come a little closer Tell me what you meant to say Chella, let the night move slower We don’t have to name the day Stay while the kettle starts to sing Stay till the windows lose their steam Chella, come a little closer Let this moment be enough for me [Outro] Chella, stay a little longer Let the quiet have its say
