[Verse 1] You kept my bike by the fence Under the pear tree lean I was all elbows and nerves You smiled like you already knew me Your porch light blinked twice Your mom was watering beans We talked in the screen door gap Like it was a secret between [Pre-Chorus] And I was small-town scared With dust on my shoes But your hand found mine Like it had nothing to prove [Chorus] Stay close, stay close Maple Street rain Stay close, stay close We can start again Quiet love, quiet love In a town that can’t keep still You were the softest thing I ever chose to feel [Verse 2] The feed store shut at six The church bell cut the air We walked past the hardware bins Acting like nobody cared But your laugh hit low and bright In the backseat of my car And all the maps in my head Finally knew where you are [Pre-Chorus] I used to fold my heart Like a note in my sleeve Then you said my name And made it easier to breathe [Chorus] Stay close, stay close Maple Street rain Stay close, stay close We can start again Quiet love, quiet love In a town that can’t keep still You were the softest thing I ever chose to feel [Bridge] Now I don't need to run Past the grain silos home I can stand in one place And still feel like I’ve grown If the road gets mean And the night turns thin I’ll be here in the glow With my hand in yours again [Final Chorus] Stay close, stay close Maple Street rain Stay close, stay close We can start again Quiet love, quiet love In a town that can’t keep still You were the softest thing I ever chose to feel Stay close, stay close Let the whole world fade Quiet love, quiet love We made our own way
