Stay Until The Stars Come Down

Written: January 1st, 2026 / Music is uploaded to accompany these lyrics *********** [Verse 1] Hey boo boo The rain was the first thing I heard today, Your beat remains, a quiet thrum in my chest. I don’t know why it felt so strange— Like time was a thread we almost let rest. But something inside me finally opened, a truth I had hidden too long. Wherever the night pulls your shadow, That’s where my spirit belongs. [Pre-Chorus] No one can measure the hours, No one can promise the dawn. So I’m gonna hold you a little bit closer, as if every moment is borrowed. [Chorus] If the sky fell quiet, I’d stay with you. If the lights all faded, I’d stay with you. Let the world keep turning, or let it fall through— I’d still choose the warmth of your breathing. Stay until the stars come down, stay until the stars come down. I’d stay with you. [Verse 2] When the world gets loud, we lose our way, We miss the mercy that lies under decay. But you are the quiet in my choice, The light that keeps the dark at bay. And even when the winds seem to break us, I believe that we might survive. Your name is the place I often return to, The heartbeat that ensures me I'm alive. [Pre-Chorus] Nothing is written forever, nothing is promised to stay. So I’m gonna love you with all that I carry, As if this breath were the last one of the day. [Chorus] If the sky fell quiet, I’d stay with you, If the lights all faded, I’d stay with you. Let the world keep turning, or let it fall through— I’d still choose the warmth of your breathing. Stay until the stars come down, stay until the stars come down. I’d stay with you. [Bridge] Right here— Where quiet is a song, Where your hand erases shadows. Right here— where the delicate becomes bold, And your heartbeat meets mine. [Final Chorus] If the world silent, I'd be right there, If the stars went dark, I'd be right there. Let the world keep turning, or let it fall through— I’d still choose the warmth of your breathing. Stay until the stars come down, stay until the stars come down. I’d stay with you. boo boo
