STAY STAY Lyrics

Thoughts just like an ivy spreads

And I'm stuck with the visual of an IV

Curdling red at the base

And all the times I said I loved you

I could keep them in a vial

So, you should be relieved to hear from me now

But what's that to do when all I will know

Is you and your brittle bones

Your jaundiced cheeks, so clearly, I will see

In "I love you"

When I live in skin, bounded by a dome

That breaks each sonder like a dust cloud

There's a whirlpool of sensitivity

With your emotions on the outer rim, and

I know what I don't like to touch

And what I don't like to hear

And one of those things that swathes my stomach round my spine

Is hearing you tell dearest friends how much I don't love you, and

You turn to me and laugh, like a jester's epitaph

But I've seen you cry and say we don't get along, cuz I won't say I

I'll be fine in a minute

Just gotta get my body conditioned

Cuz who knows how my blood will surpass

Limits as high, so I

Might need you to convince me

The express you're taking out is close by

D'you mind? Cuz it's the kind

Of special I'd like to run a little behind, please

Stay half a minute longer

Say you won't be around

Pray that it's just a joke, and

Like a golden ticket, from your bed, you will bound

Ah, please don't spite me now

I tell myself to shut up when I'm

Living by a maxim of "show, don't tell"

I punch holes in a piano roll

Slip it through, and wind it over

It's the score, and when you remind me, it

The dam goes breaking in my eyes

Though I'm stoic in most moments

You're the only one that stirs some sort of high

And it's what I like to do

To make up for what I won't tell you, so

Comfortably, I sit

But each holiday, I forget

Set this future in retrograde

This heart monitor berates me

You're bothered not that you're dying

But you're dying with a lifetime behind you of

Beckoning calls and effortless responses

After each wind where you saved the child

Stop this going on and on

If it takes a thousand volts to keep you up, I'll make you know that I

Stay half a minute longer

Say you won't be around

Pray that it's just a joke, and

Like a golden ticket, from your bed, you will bound

Right

You don't need to tell me anything

But I need to tell you everything

Before you can tell me nothing

Just stay plugged in

It's odd to remember

Each time you hold me

And wonder what will I do

Scold me

For staying reluctant, yet again

Boldly, boldly, boldly

I'll be holding my toe

Just above the tar rising in the

Deep, deep, deep deep, ah

Deep, deep, deep deep, ah

The more hesitation, the greater an event it will be

So, before this day, before this day

Watching your fingers fall with each tick of the wave, I

Don't wanna be asking you to stay

But something tells me I'll be asking you to stay

I don't want to be asking you to stay, but

Something tells me I'll be asking you to

Stay, stay half a minute longer

Say, say you won't be around

Pray, pray that it's just a joke

And out from your bed, you will bound

I need you to stay, stay half a minute longer

Say, say you won't be around

Pray, pray that it's just a joke

And out from your bed, you will bound

Stay, ah ha ha ha

Stay, ah ha ha ha

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

Ah, I need you to stay
