Just Stay Songtext / Lyric

I found my fickle friend

out in the alley way

He said, You don't look so good.

I said, Hey doc, that's great.

You started practicing?

I never got the note.

So let's shake and trade

and be on our way.

Let's go, go, go.



So here we are again,

inside your neon shrine,

sharing a chopping block

beneath embarassed light

that tries to hide from us

it tucks itself away.

So we both grab hold

and say no you don't.

Just stay, just stay.






And I'm racing towards

the one mistake

that locks me in my place.

The judgement call

that justifies the smirk stuck on my face.

My crooked life scared straight and stiff

by the last wrong turn I'll take.

But I'm not there yet so come purr, my pet.

Let's play, let's play.



The morning's hot and harsh,

my notebook fills itself.

The words come thick with sweat,

it feels like someone else

is writing all of this,

someone I just can't believe.

when I mop my brow,

set my pen back down,

it's still me, still me.



And I'm grabbing at a feeling now

that I can't ever name.

Some sign post to remind me

how I wanted things this way.



And she said, it's pretty

but you hate yourself,

I can hear it clear as day.

And I say, a sin like this,

it sounds worse than it is.

I'm okay, okay.

I'm okay, okay.

Just stay, just stay.
