Lyrics

[Intro]
A date in my phone glows like a pilot light

[Verse 1]
Edge of the roof, cold grit; the city holding still.
Message in drafts, blue bubble never sent.
I stepped back in, away from the air.
Sunrise spilled honey over chipped kitchen tile.

[Build]

[Chorus]
the night I stayed
I mark that square with candles, counting years not scars

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Now the date rolls round; I frost a mug-cake at midnight.
One extra candle, smoke curling like a grin.
Alarm set yearly, repeats — no end date.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
the night I stayed
I say my name out loud and blow the darkness out

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Calendar ink on my thumb.
I sing to the quiet till the quiet sings back.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
the night I stayed
louder every year
