I Wish I Could Stay

I wish I could stay

I wish I could stay right here

(You think performing'll be fun, right?

Scares the shit out of me)

I wish I could stay

I wish I could stay right here

(Okay, check it out)

The hands of time tick away as I sit there waiting to go

Standing by, anticipating 'cause it's the day of a show

Yeah, and there's that buzz in the air

But amidst the excitement, inside I'm

Tryna control my stress

And I sit backstage and hold my breath

Up in my mind, up in my mind

I think I'm already heading home

And I been trying and I been trying

But I just can't seem to let it go

Yeah, I'm so nervous right now

Heart racing as they turn the lights down

It's like I feel insane because I can hear my name

But I wish I could stay

I wish I could stay right here

I wish I could (That's right)

I wish I could stay (Ha)

I wish I could stay right here

(Okay, yeah)

But you know that it's just a phase

And so that notion begins to fade and drift away the

Moment I hit the stage and hear

As a roar erupts from the crowd

And I just fall in love with that sound

Now I'm gone, up in the clouds

And I'm not sure when I'm coming back down

And all my fears disappear

The stage is all mine, it's like I'm in a dream

And when the energy's up

I swear it is such an adrenaline rush (Yeah)

This buzz is better than anything that I could get from a drug

And I wish I could stay (Woo)

I wish I could stay right here (Ha)

I wish I could (Uh-huh)

I wish I could stay

I wish I could stay right here (Yeah)

Can somebody hear me? (Can somebody hear me?)

Can somebody hear me now? Oh, oh, oh, oh

Can somebody hear me? (Can somebody hear me?)

Can somebody hear me now? Oh, oh, oh, oh

(Oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)

Yeah, uh, uh

I wish I could stay (Woo)

I wish I could stay right here (Ha)

I wish I could (That's right)

I wish I could stay

I wish I could stay right here (Yeah, I don't know what they have)

I wish I could stay

I wish I could stay right here (Uh-huh)

I wish I could (Woo)

I wish I could stay

I wish I could stay right here (Right here)
