Stay

Just so you know
You're the one and only reason
I haven't left this dead-end town
Not that the others aren't important
But compared to you
They're always letting me down
And yes I do know what I am missing
I still want to get out of here
Sometime soon
But it's the presence of you
That keeps me from regretting this year

If you don't know what to say
Don't say anything at all
Just know I made my own mistake
I took a risk and took a fall
Now these walls are closing in
And as I'm trying to escape
I'm so afraid this time away
Has pulled the life from me

So maybe you could stay
For just a few more days
You mean so much to me
It's hard to even explain

When you're gone I'll fall asleep by your picture
Although it's never near enough
I'll sing this song when I am dying
And I'll hold it close when times get tough

Singing whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh (x2)

Any time you need me
You know that I'll be here
I'll try my best to help you
and I'll wipe away those tears
And all that I ask in return
Is just stay by my side
I'll forgive your weaknesses
If you just look past mine

So maybe you could stay
For just a few more days
I wanna fall asleep with the scent of you
And feel your presence when I wake

Singing whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh (x2)
