This Can Stay Lyrics by Elyse Shackleton

Car Conversations

2018

(Verse 1)
I catch the way you look at me
The way you look at things like it’ll all be gone one morning
You laugh but nights can be quite chilling
I know that you’re still healing
But we’re not make-believing
(Pre-Chorus 1)
I’ll be strong when you can’t
I need you to take a chance
On me, I’ll show you solid land
I’ll always take your hand
I’ll always hold your hand
(Chorus 1)
I’ll pull your sleeve
I’ll lead you through darkened days
You know I’ll be
The one to light your way
Call and I’ll come running
We’ll drive till things are sunny
Some things aren’t meant to last
But this can stay
(Verse 2)
I catch when you wake up at night
The way you toss and turn and nothing feels quite right
You laugh, but I know that you’re hurting
I know that this is worth it
So hold onto this moment
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I’ll be strong when you can’t
I need you to take a chance
On me, I’ll show you solid land
I’ll always take your hand
I’ll always hold your hand
(Chorus 2)
I’ll pull your sleeve
I’ll lead you through darkened days
You know I’ll be
The one to light your way
Call and I’ll come running
We’ll drive till things are sunny
Some things aren’t meant to last
But this can stay
(Bridge)
Hearts are built to break
Clouds are meant for rain
Sometimes feelings change
But this can stay
Daylight’s fading fast
But this is something we can take
You’ve got to take a chance
‘Cause this can stay
(Chorus 3)
I’ll pull your sleeve
I’ll lead you through darkened days
You know I’ll be
The one to light your way
Call and I’ll come running
We’ll drive till things are sunny
Some things aren’t meant to last
But this can stay
(Chorus 4)
I’ll take the lead
When you can’t find the strength
You know I’ll be
With you along the way
Call and I’ll come running
We’ll drive till things are sunny
Some things aren’t meant to last
But this can stay
