A Reason To 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.
I don't work, I don't work
Doesn't mean I don't work behind love
Sometimes the hardest part
Is trying to work it out
When it's just easier
To leave it all behind
Love can fade away
So slow, it doesn't make
A desperate sound
Until it finally dies
It's like you're pushing me down
Trying to get a rise
Thought you said playing games
Was a waste of your time
Are you trying to shut me out of your life?
Remember I drive a thousand miles
Only to see you for one day
It's never too cold to come home
Just give me a reason, a reason to stay
Somehow I lost on frozen roads
Now I just need to hear you say
That it's never too cold to come home
Just give me a reason, reason to stay
I don't work, I don't work
Doesn't mean I don't work behind love
I don't work, I don't work
Doesn't mean I don't work behind love
I thought we had it all
Earthquakes can't make us fall
We have that kind of story
Only legends own
So put that helmet down
Stop trying to knock us down
There's only so much damage
That I can't rebuild
It's like you're pushing me down
Trying to get a rise
Thought you said playing games
Was a waste of your time
Are you trying to shut me out of your life?
Remember I drive a thousand miles
Only to see you for one day
It's never too cold to come home
Just give me a reason, a reason to stay
Somehow I lost on frozen roads
Now I just need to hear you say
That it's never too cold to come home
Just give me a reason, a reason to stay
I don't work, I don't work
Doesn't mean I don't work behind love
I don't work, I don't work
Doesn't mean I don't work behind love
I don't work, I don't work
Doesn't mean I don't work behind love
I don't work, I don't work
Doesn't mean I don't work behind love
