Background Lyrics by Reckless Serenade

Strange Soul

2016

[Verse 1]
Can you feel a heartbreak
No, no, my weeping willow, are you okay?
Do you feel that earth quake?
No, no, where’s your glow?
You are not the same
Sleep in, don’t worry your head, your head, your head
Stay calm, don’t fathom the words we never said

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t let go
Hold on, don’t let go

[Chorus]
Stay with me, stay with me tonight
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t fade into the background
The fading lights and sounds
Stay with me, stay with me tonight
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t fade into the background
The background

[Verse 2]
Can you feel your hands shake
No, no, my weeping willow- You can’t fake this
Do you miss the old days?
No, no, I know- It feels like you cannot escape escape
Where did all the Sundays go where we stayed in?
When did Fall get cold again, where have we been?

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t let go
Hold on, don’t let go

[Chorus]
Stay with me, stay with me tonight
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t fade into the background
The fading lights and sounds
Stay with me, stay with me tonight
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t fade into the background
The background

[Bridge]
Is this the best that we can do?
Counting cobwebs in your room
Silently sinking, selfishlessly pouring more salt in these wounds
Is this the best that we can do?
While these static spirits loom
Silently screaming, haunting our hearts
Blinding us both to the truth

[Quiet Pre-Chorus]
Stay strong, we’re in this together
We can’t fight the storm, but we sure can brave the weather

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t let go
Hold on, don’t let go

[Chorus]
Stay with me, stay with me tonight
(Hold on, don’t let go)
Stay with me, stay with me
(Hold on, don’t let go)
Don’t fade into the background
The fading lights and sounds
Stay with me, stay with me tonight
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t fade into the background
The background
