Lyrics

Stay

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Things have been getting pretty rough around here

No coffee cups flying around the room

Just daggers thrown from tears

It’s gotta crawl out from under our breath

We could never break up, so I love you to death

But man I’ve become one so comfortably dumb

I believe you could mean it, but you’re not having fun

And I’m sorry

I learned to breathe I guess some time ago

But just recently I learned what it means to take it slow

I’m lousy with excuses and you know I love to swear

So goddammit, I swear to whatever’s out there

And I love you more now than I ever have, so

Let’s pick another day to call it quits and walk away

Let’s find some other time to break down

The storm has gone and blown on through

Shake off the devils a dial or two

You might leave me still, but not today

For now, can we just stay?

Can we just stay?

You would think by now that I’d be fine

You know, like really stretching out

But it would all be lies

Not in complete control of my own feelings

There they go

Quickly running out of booze

Drinking to kill myself to live without you

Over there, where I’m still stare

Sometimes

Let’s pick another day to call it quits and walk away

Let’s find some other time to break down

The storm has gone and blown on through

Shake off the devils a dial or two

You might leave me still, but not today

For now, can we just stay?

Can we just stay?

For now, can we just stay?

For now, can we just stay?
