​for a while. Lyrics by Justin Bellamy

Evergreen

2018

Verse 1:
Always in a rush. You can never take it slow
'Cuz every time we touch or even get too close
You find a way to leave. Find a new place to go
But would you believe me if I said that I'm losing hope?

Chorus:
Girl I know it's not your style, but could I stay here for a while?
I just need to see your smile, so could I stay here for a while?
Oh, girl I know it's not your style, but could I stay here for a while?
Could I stay here for a while?

Verse 2:
You want shallow. I need deep. You want a house. I need a home
You'd like to have. I'd love to keep, and I'm afraid to be alone
So won't you let me linger? This may be something that could grow
'Cuz it's one thing to be heard, and another to be known

Chorus:
Girl I know it's not your style, but could I stay here for a while?
I just need to see your smile, so could I stay here for a while?
Oh, girl I know it's not your style, but could I stay here for a while?
Could I stay here for a while? Oh, could I stay here for while?

Bridge:
I know you want to go, but could I have this moment
To cherish? I'll keep it as though you never wanted to leave
I know you want to go, but could I have this moment
To cherish? I'll keep it as though you never wanted to leave me
As though you never wanted to leave
As though you never wanted to leave me
As though you never wanted to leave

Chorus:
Girl I know it's not your style, but could I stay here for a while?
I just need to see your smile, so could I stay here for a while?

Girl I know it's not your style, but could I stay here for a while?
I just need to see your smile, so could I stay here for a while?
Oh, girl I know it's not your style, but could I stay here for a while?
Could I stay here for a while?

Outro:
Oh. I need to see your smile
Could I stay here for a while?
Could I stay here for a while?
