Lyrics
“Let Me Stay” The more I learn about you, The more I don’t want to go alone. New memories feel different now, When I imagine them with you along. The kind you smile at years from now, Driving somewhere on autopilot roads, Laughing at nothing Just knowing you’re not alone. And you once told me you like ducks I thought that was adorable. You didn’t even know What that said about your soul. Ducks choose one and stay loyal. Swans do too, they don’t let go. Wolves. Elephants. Penguins in the cold The strongest hearts still choose one home. I like that kind of love… The kind that doesn’t scare and run. Maybe that’s the reason Maybe that’s why I like you so much. You say you care too much. You say you overthink. Good — that means your heart still moves, That means it’s deeper than you think. And when you get quiet, When the silence stretches thin I still feel the same boy Who once ate cookie dough from the tin. Now he’s a man who loves too deep, Who’s scared of getting it wrong But hearts that feel this strongly Were never meant to stay withdrawn. So tell me something honest What do you still want to see? What’s one thing you’d only try With someone you truly need? Ducks choose one and stay loyal. Swans do too, they don’t let go. Wolves. Elephants. Penguins in the snow Even the wildest hearts want home. I want that kind of love, The kind that grows, not fades away. Not forced. Not rushed. Just chosen… every day. So don’t run. You don’t have to decide tonight. I’m not asking for forever Just don’t disappear from sight. Let your heart be loud. Let it overcare. You don’t scare me. I’m still here. Ducks choose one and stay loyal. Swans do too, they always do. And if strong hearts pick one for life… I think mine’s choosing you. So don’t run. Let me stay. Lyrics by Stavellie Salomon
“Before You Were Brave” There was a spark in you before you knew What futures weigh or hearts can hold, I trusted what I felt, I saw it too, A quiet story waiting to unfold. You didn’t see it in your own reflection, You didn’t know the strength you had But I could feel the pull, the direction, Something steady underneath the sad. But fear can whisper louder than desire, Telling hearts they’re safer left untouched… Still I remember that first fire, The way our souls leaned in when we talked too much. I believed in you before doubt began, Before the world built up its walls, Before you wondered if you were the man Who’d ever dare to answer love’s call. And if you pull away, I’ll feel it, If you go quiet, I’ll miss you. You matter more than you admit… And I just wish you knew. I cared for you while you were still afraid, While hesitation held your hand, Before you thought your heart might break If you tried to be that kind of man. You don’t have to rush the moment, You don’t have to prove a thing I don’t want love born out of pressure, I want the courage choosing me. So I’ll be patient with your silence, I’ll let you breathe, I’ll let you roam… But something in me knows the difference Between lost and running from home. I believed in you before doubt began, Before the noise got in your head, Before you questioned if you could stand Inside the words we never said. If you pull away, I’ll feel it, If you go quiet, I’ll miss you. You matter to me more than fear… And I won’t force what’s true. Take your time, Mr. Oliver… I won’t disappear. I don’t want the you who’s scared of choosing wrong I want the one who’s brave enough to stay here. And I’d miss you far too much To ever walk away first. I believed in you before doubt began, Before you knew what love could be, And I’m still standing where I stand If you ever choose to choose me. If you pull away, I’ll feel it, If you go quiet, I’ll miss you… But I’ll be here Until you’re brave enough To miss me too. Lyrics by Stavellie Salomon
“Bavarian Girl” O Bavarian girl, take care of what you hold, A heart that blooms like spring but shields like stone. His love is fire wrapped gentle from the cold, He doesn’t give in parts, he gives his whole. He’ll think for hours what one word might mean, Trace every silence like a hidden sign, And when he loves, it’s quiet, deep, unseen, A loyal wolf who gives you all of his time. So handle him softly, he feels everything, Even the tremble beneath your tone… He may look strong in the light he brings, But some storms are weathered alone. So speak to him gentle, let comfort be your art, Don’t rush the boy who feels too deep. There’s thunder folded inside his heart, And dreams he doesn’t show in his sleep. You’re the lucky girl, fate chose you well… To be the one he loves, And loves to tell. He’ll hold your hand like something rare, Like it might break if he’s too rough. He’ll memorize the way you care, And wonder if he’s ever enough. He won’t always say what he fears, He carries weight he doesn’t name, But if he lets you close, my dear You hold a sacred flame. So guard the storm he doesn’t show, The quiet ache beneath his pride… He’s braver than he lets you know, But softer on the inside. So speak to him gentle, let comfort be your art, Don’t rush the boy who feels too deep. Protect the wild within his heart, And keep his promises while he sleeps. You’re the lucky girl, fate chose you well… To be the one he loves, And loves to tell. I knew that heart before you did… Before it learned your name. I watched it bloom, I watched it hid, I knew its fire, its flame. So treat it kindly in your hands, It’s braver than it seems… And if he gives you all he is You’re holding someone’s dreams. So speak to him gentle, let comfort be your art, Love him steady, love him well. You hold the wolf, the fire, the heart… And that is yours to tell. Lucky girl, fate chose you well… To be the one he loves, And loves to tell. — Your Miss Innocent Lyrics by Stavellie Salomon
“Olive Tree” If you pull back, my heart will sense the space, A silence falling heavier than night. If you go quiet, longing takes its place, And missing you becomes its quiet fight. You matter more than I had planned or guessed, Like something growing softly in my chest… And though you doubt, unsure of what I feel, My care for you is steady, strong, and real. So stay… let your worried thoughts unwind. You’re safe with me, I’m not the leaving kind. No games, no masks, no hidden part. You don’t have to guard your heart. I choose you now, no pressure, no plea. Just truth standing quietly. You planted something gentle without knowing, A seed that found its way beneath my skin. And even when your fears keep showing, I don’t see reasons not to begin. I don’t need promises carved in stone, I don’t need answers overnight Just let your guarded edges soften, Let something honest take its light. You don’t have to rush to certainty, You don’t have to name it yet… I’m not afraid of growing slowly Some roots are strongest when they’re set. So stay… let your restless mind grow still. You don’t have to prove your will. No games, no masks, no need to flee. Just be exactly who you be. I choose you now, gently, free. No chains. Just possibility. And if someday love takes root in you, Not out of fear, but something true… I’ll grow beside you patiently Like branches of an olive tree. Weathered strong, but bending light, Standing through both storm and bright. So stay… let your guarded heart be seen. I’m not here to intervene. No rush, no race, no guarantee Just something real between you and me. And if love ever finds its way, I won’t run, I’ll stay. Like an olive tree. Lyrics by Stavellie Salomon
