can i stay Lyrics

We crosstalk across the room

Filling void with ample words that

Mask meaning with frenetic feeling

We find ways to say the same thing

Measuring against each other

While avoiding deeper meaning

Can I stay?

Can I open up to you?

I wish that I could recapture

A sense of wonder, not a lie

I guess I was never open

Maybe I'll never be fine

'Cause I like the pang of sadness

So I lock myself inside

Can I stay?

Can I tell you how I feel?

Will you listen or talk through me

As I fill the space to say:

"Maybe you will never notice

Maybe you were never wrong

'Cause you built your wayward armor

And it holds you in so strong"

When I wander

I drift

I wander

Through fears I can't fathom from thoughts unarrived

Every hope is a thought I contrive

When I wander

I grasp

I wonder

Through holding patterns holding the hopes that I hide

Every choice and every lie

Can I stay?

Can I open up to you?

I wish that I could recapture

A sense of wonder, not a lie

I guess I was never open

Maybe I'll never be fine

'Cause I like the pang of sadness

So I lock myself inside

Can I stay?

Can I tell you how I feel?

Will you listen or talk through me

As I fill the space to say:

"Maybe you will never notice

Maybe you were never wrong

'Cause you built your wayward armor

And it holds you in so strong"
