You Could Stay

Stay
If you wanted
Say you do, but you’re always off runnin’
You could change
Never gonna

Didn’t bring your bags, saw you leavin’ in the mornin’
So I’m wakin’ up alone and smokin’ up
I’ll see your face tomorrow and hope it’s gone
You know you could stay

If you wanted
If you wanted
If you wanted

You could stay
If you wanted
Say you do, but you’re always off runnin’
You could change
Never gonna

Didn’t bring your bags, saw you leavin’ in the mornin’
So I’m wakin’ up alone and smokin’ up
I’ll see your face tomorrow and hope it’s gone
You know you could stay

If you wanted
If you wanted
If you wanted

I thought that you’d leave but you started quoting
Songs that we’d sing in my car each morning
Follow the breeze, the leaves fall around us
Fight off the freezing cold with the sound up
Every breath exhaled in this dark room
Burn into me the marks where the sparks flew
Fostering peace, I plead not to argue
Often I think that I hardly know you
Where are you going? I said but I’m choking
On words that I wish I could throw up
Fear that I’m loathing the depth of my coating
I feel like my brain’s ‘bout to blow up
Hate what I’ve become
Make up with the seasons
I’ll change like the leaves do in autumn
Just know that I meant this
These words are infectious
I’ll sit like a stain when it’s all done

Stay
If you wanted
Say you do, but you’re always off runnin’
You could change
Never gonna

Didn’t bring your bags, saw you leavin’ in the mornin’
So I’m wakin’ up alone and smokin’ up
I’ll see your face tomorrow and hope it’s gone
You know you could stay

If you wanted
If you wanted
If you wanted

You know you could stay
If you wanted
Say you do, but you’re always off runnin’
You could change
Never gonna

Didn’t bring your bags, saw you leavin’ in the mornin’
So I’m wakin’ up alone and smokin’ up
I’ll see your face tomorrow and hope it’s gone
You know you could stay

If you wanted
If you wanted
If you wanted
