Just Stay
I found my fickle friend out in the alley way He said, You don't look so good. I said, Hey doc, that's great. You started practicing? I never got the note. So let's shake and trade and be on our way. Let's go, go, go. So here we are again, inside your neon shrine, sharing a chopping block beneath embarassed light that tries to hide from us it tucks itself away. So we both grab hold and say no you don't. Just stay, just stay. And I'm racing towards the one mistake that locks me in my place. The judgement call that justifies the smirk stuck on my face. My crooked life scared straight and stiff Letras de cancionesby the last wrong turn I'll take. But I'm not there yet so come purr, my pet. Let's play, let's play. The morning's hot and harsh, my notebook fills itself. The words come thick with sweat, it feels like someone else is writing all of this, someone I just can't believe. when I mop my brow, set my pen back down, it's still me, still me. And I'm grabbing at a feeling now that I can't ever name. Some sign post to remind me how I wanted things this way. And she said, it's pretty but you hate yourself, I can hear it clear as day. And I say, a sin like this, it sounds worse than it is. I'm okay, okay. I'm okay, okay. Just stay, just stay. From Letras Mania
