Stay Lyrics by Columbus

Spring Forever

2016

I don't want to stay

Soon I'll be stuck here forever
Nail my hands to the floor so we can bleed out together
I don't want to stay anymore

Sing to myself what I should have said to you
Whisper softly, talk to me slowly
I've been trying to kill some time before you let me live

I spent most of my year homesick sitting in this bedroom
If home is where the heart is, I'm so far away
I feel myself imprisoned inside the walls I live in
I'm pulling out these nails from my hands 'cause I know I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay

I'm buried by my own two legs
Concrete knees bring me down
And inside me ambition begs
I hope that I don't let him drown

Sing to myself what I should have said to you
Whisper softly, talk to me slowly
Give me something else to lean on
Give something else to breathe
'Cause I'm sick and tired of waiting here to die and fall asleep
To die and fall asleep

I spent most of my year homesick sitting in this bedroom
If home is where the heart is, I'm so far away
I feel myself imprisoned inside the walls I live in
I'm pulling out these nails from my hands 'cause I know I don't want to stay
I'm pulling out these nails from my hands 'cause I know I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay

I spent most of my year homesick sitting in this bedroom
If home is where the heart is, I'm so far away
I feel myself imprisoned inside the walls I live in
I'm pulling out these nails from my hands

I spent most of my year homesick sitting in this bedroom
If home is where the heart is, I'm so far away
I feel myself imprisoned inside the walls I live in
I'm pulling out these nails from my hands 'cause I know I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
I don't want to stay
