stay - PUBLIC

Sun’s goin' down, we’re driving around

Losin' track of time before you’re out

Wish I could freeze this beautiful scene

But it just melts

Lost in a sea, your eyes golden green

Staring as your fingers leave my hands

Wanted to follow wherever you go

I just can’t right now, but

You’re always on my mind

But it’s fine, I’m not cryin'

I hate sayin' goodbye

I’ve been lyin', I’m not fine…

I just wanted you to stay!

When you’re not so close to me

Feels like I forget how to breathe

Too many times I’ve played it cool while I watch you leave

I just wanted you to stay!

When you’re not so close to me

It plays like a sad song on repeat

And too many times I’ve played the fool

Cause I watched you leave

Sun’s goin' down, haven’t made a sound

Tongue caught on the words trapped in my mouth

Wish I could say what I need to say, darling

I just can’t right now, but

You’re always on my mind

But it’s fine, I’m not cryin'

I hate sayin' goodbye

I’ve been lyin', I’m not fine…

I just wanted you to stay!

I just wanted you to stay!

When you’re not so close to me

Feels like I forget how to breathe

Too many times I’ve played it cool while I watch you leave

I just wanted you to stay!

When you’re not so close to me

It plays like a sad song on repeat

And too many times I’ve played the fool

Cause I watched you leave

I just wanted you to stay!
