Second Best Lyrics by Close Talker

How Do We Stay Here?

2020

[Verse 1]
I'm a mess
Like a distant skyline
It looks better than what it is
And you're stressed out
It was just a mirage then
But now this is clearer than it's ever been

[Chorus]
'Cause tonight we're closin' out the week
I'll play the song you like to sing
Tonight this barely meant a thing
Without you closer
And I'll just wait till the morning
For a call that never came
I wish we were stationary
For just a moment
For just a moment

[Verse 2]
And I called you at 2 a.m
Forgot about the time change
I'll try you tomorrow in Berlin
But now this is coming to
The end of an era
And the start of the nеw

[Chorus]
'Cause tonight we're closin' out thе week
I'll play the song you like to sing
Tonight this barely meant a thing
Without you closer
And I'll just wait till the morning
For a call that never came
I wish we were stationary
For just a moment
For just a moment

[Bridge]
Surprise
Another wasted night
You've been on my mind now
But you're hardly defined anymore
And last summer
We were so alive then
I wanna feel that again
Do you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight we're closin' out the week
I'll play the song you like to sing
Tonight this barely meant a thing
Without you closer

[Chorus]
Tonight we're closin' out the week
I'll play that song you like to sing
Tonight this barely meant a thing
Without you closer
And I'll just wait till morning
For a call that never came
I wish we were stationary
For just a moment
For just a moment
