[Verse] (Female) Sunlight climbs the fence, slow and low Wood creaks under fingers, soft like a vow You’re sanding down the splinters, I’m tracing the cracks Where the seasons slipped through in silence and fact (Male) Nails are warm from the morning’s first light Gotta make this place safe, where love lives in the night We’re building something steady, not fast, not loud Just two hands, one rhythm, a quiet crowd [Pre-Chorus] (Female) Every scratch tells a story (Male) Every knot holds a reason to stay (Female & Male) We’re not fixing the past—just holding it gently With a screwdriver and a quiet way [Chorus] (Both) Oh, the steps don’t need to lead anywhere Just need to be strong, just need to be here Where your shadow still fits in mine And time forgets the reason it’s been so hard We’re just two souls, slow and true On a porch that says, “Stay.” [Verse] (Male) Old railing groans like a memory Paint’s peeling like leaves in a silent story You hum that tune we used to know While I measure the space between where we go (Female) I watched you kneel here, years ago Before the world knew what we’d let go Now the wood remembers our shape And the sun remembers our names [Pre-Chorus] (Male) Every groove tells a secret (Female) Every beam remembers our name (Male & Female) We’re not running from the past—just turning it gently With a hammer and a quiet flame [Chorus] (Both) Oh, the steps don’t need to lead anywhere Just need to be strong, just need to be here Where your shadow still fits in mine And time forgets the reason it’s been so hard We’re just two souls, slow and true On a porch that says, “Stay.” [Bridge] (Female) Maybe love isn’t loud or long It’s just the sun and a nail in the wrong song (Male) And maybe home isn’t a door you close It’s a place that just lets you... (Both, soft, fading) ...rest. ...belong. ...stay. [Outro] (Female) One step at a time… (Male) One breath at a time… (Both, harmonizing, fading) Stay… Stay… Stay…
