The View Lyrics by Maple St.

2020

[Verse 1]
I came for the smile, I stayed for the laugh
Tried waiting it out, but love didn't pass
And everywhere I go you know I'm going
'Cause I think that I might run into you
I stayed for the conversation even though
I came for the view

[Verse 2]
I loved all those days, stripped socks on your floor
Cold hands on your face, but I wanted more
I'm sorry that it took me so long to see
What everyone else could already see
That all this time you made me a better me

[Chorus]
So let's run away, take me to Portland
We'll get a cab, we'll leave in the morning
Don't need a ring we'll get a tattoo
I was happy alone but I'm happy with you
Let's run away, get a train up to Boise
Fuck these degrees in how to make money
Roasting potatoes, wearing your sweater
We can kill time just being together
I came for the
I came for the
I came for the view
I came for the
I came for the
I came for the view

[Verse 3]
I called you a friend, I crashed in your bedroom
You were so close I could reach out and touch you
(Reach out and touch you, reach out and)
And everything I write you know I write it
'Cause it might be beautiful to you
I stayed for the conversation even though
I came for the view

[Chorus]
Let's run away, take a plane down to Austin
I can write country, we can go dancing
Spend all our free time playing at bars
I'll learn the bass you'll pick up that guitar
Let's run away, let's drive to Seattle
Sippin' coffee in rain boots and flannels
Don't need a kid or a white picket fence
We can have dogs and lots of good friends

Came for the view

[Bridge]
Stay a while, stay stay a while, I'll
Stay a while, stay a while
Stay a while, stay stay a while, I'll
Stay a while, stay stay a while
Stay a while, stay a while, I'll
Stay a while, stay stay a while, oh

[Chorus]
Let's run away, let's live in Atlanta
I'll be your peach tree, you'll be my sweet tea
I'll eat you up like mosquitoes in summer
Don't care where you are if we're there together
So let's run away, take me to Portland
We'll get a cab, we'll leave in the morning
Don't need a ring we'll get a tattoo
I was happy alone but I'm happy with you
Let's run away, get a train up to Boise
Fuck these degrees in how to make money
Roasting potatoes, wearing your sweater
We can kill time just being together
Let's run away, take a plane down to Austin
I can write country, we can go dancing
Spend all our free time playing at bars
I'll learn the bass you'll pick up that guitar
Let's run away, let's drive to Seattle
Sippin' coffee in rain boots and flannels
Don't need a kid or a white picket fence
We can have dogs and lots of good friends

Stay a while, stay stay a while, I'll
