[Verse 1]
You text me when you’re worn out
I got your chair pulled close
Half a bowl of fruit on the counter
Your shoes by the door
We let the day fall off us
Like rain from a sleeve
And your laugh goes soft in the corners
Where the old walls breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to say it
I can read your face
Same tired heart, same small storm
Same slow, quiet place
[Chorus]
Best Friend
Stay right here
Best Friend
Come a little near
Best Friend
You know I’m here
Best Friend
Through every year
[Verse 2]
The kettle hums in the background
Your feet cross the rug
You steal the last clean blanket
And I don’t mind, love
We talk in the dark by the window
About nothing at all
Still, it feels like a home I can carry
When the whole world calls
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to say it
I already know
When the weight gets heavy
You can let it go
[Chorus]
Best Friend
Stay right here
Best Friend
Come a little near
Best Friend
You know I’m here
Best Friend
Through every year
[Bridge]
If the room goes cold
If the week gets mean
I’ll keep a light on
In the in-between
No grand words
No perfect plan
Just your hand in mine
And mine in your hand
[Chorus]
Best Friend
Stay right here
Best Friend
Come a little near
Best Friend
You know I’m here
Best Friend
Through every year
