Stay

I make eyes at the clouds on my way home

Hoping a bird would fly over my head

So I can say it's everything on the tip of my tongue

And I can find no sleep when I go to bed, oh

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

I make love to the train tracks down below

Would you mind if I were pushed right in?

So I can have an out before you're someone I knew long ago

And the man will get a life down in the bin, oh

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Oh, there was something wrong with the chase

So bored, I didn't want to run away, oh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

But I don't wanna fucking stay

Oh, I could but I won't, won't let it go

I only love what doesn't want me around

Find the time to take it fast while I'm saying, "Take it slow"

Read my mind but promise me that you won't, oh

Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, there was something wrong with the chase

So bored, I didn't want to run away, oh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

But I don't wanna fucking stay

Oh, I'm probably better off going back down south

To the town that I grew up in

All these lights and buildings and cars honking five stories below

Ain't what I wanted

But bags are easier to pack

Than conversations are to turn

So can I have my place back on the couch

Without you spelling out all the lessons I should've learned?

Oh, I got so tired

That I didn't wanna run away

But I, I don't wanna fucking stay
