would you stay if i called your name? ♫ a song for a fragile moment

Details

Description

For the heart-in-your-throat quiet of a fragile moment. This song is about the space between breaths, the unspoken questions in a lover's gaze, and the terrifying, hopeful act of wondering if they would stay if they knew everything you wanted to say. A soundtrack for the beautiful, anxious edge of vulnerability.

What's scarier: saying the words, or the silence of not saying them?

LYRICS (Would You Stay?):

[Verse 1]
Soft sunlight on the kitchen floor
Bare feet stumble, searching for something more
Half a hello in your morning voice
Paper-thin silence, nearly a choice

[Pre-Chorus]
If I say what lingers, would you drift further?
Painted pause, blush and murmur

[Chorus]
Would you stay? Would you stay?
If I call your name? (Oh, oh)
Would you stay? Would you stay?
If the words got tangled? (La, la, la)
Would you stay?

[Verse 2]
Laughed at lightning, tangled in towels
A broken bowl, the way the echoes howl
Lost my thought in the month of May
Would you remember what I tried to say?
Half a phrase, half a fight
Lifted looks below porch light
(la, la)

[Breakdown]
Would you—would you?
All the small signals in my skin
Would you—would you?
All the quiet questions left within
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Would you stay? Would you stay?
If I call your name? (La, la, la)
Would you stay? Would you stay?
If my heart’s still shaking? (Oh, oh)
Would you stay?

[Solo]
[Soft acoustic guitar fingerpicking, gentle piano, and airy synth pads]

[Bridge]
Listen—lately, wild words tumble
Love lost in comfort, love found in trouble
Would you still notice me, slipping through hours?
Raindrops scatter—scatter, then surround

[Chorus] Would you stay? Would you stay? If I call your name? (La, la, la) Would you stay? Would you stay? If tomorrow’s waiting? (Oh, oh) Would you stay? Would you stay?
