If You Stay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your blue coat by my kitchen chair A little rain still caught inside the thread I warm the mug you like beside the sink And watch you smile before you even drink [Pre-Chorus] No grand parade, no perfect line Just your hand finding mine [Chorus] If you stay, I have enough A small room, two cups, this kind of love When the whole day asks too much of us I’ll be the place you can come back to If you stay, I’ll stay there too [Verse 2] You know the window sticks in wintertime You lift it twice, then laugh and call it mine We trade the last clean blanket on the bed And make a little room for every dream we said [Pre-Chorus] No distant shore, no finish line Just your hand finding mine [Chorus] If you stay, I have enough A small room, two cups, this kind of love When the whole day asks too much of us I’ll be the place you can come back to If you stay, I’ll stay there too [Bridge] Let the years change our faces Let the paint fade from the door I will learn all your new seasons And love you through them all [Final Chorus] If you stay, I have enough A small room, two cups, this kind of love When the whole world asks too much of us I’ll be the place you can come back to If you stay, I’ll stay there too Yes, I’ll stay there too [Outro] Your blue coat by my kitchen chair Your hand in mine, and I am there
