Stay Lyrics by Tiny Kingdoms

Stay

2016

[Intro]
Dead for another evening
We were sleepless on the ceiling
You found your way to my skin and burrowed in
I thought I’d never taste love
I’m always so detached
But I can feel a movement missing from inside my chest
And all the beautiful words you would speak still devour me

[Verse 1]
I was wrapped up in your veins
And stayed suspended and tangled for days
Above the deepest divides, we fell with our hands still tied
And I thought
This is what happens when two hurricanes collide
It becomes easier to let go
Even when it’s everything to hold on tight
I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know

[Chorus]
We were more than just catastrophe
Twisting fate lines so you and I could be
But I always feel so far away
You were where the Atlantic, Pacific agreed to meet
Overtaking the ground and flooding into me
And you always swept me away
And all I want is to stay

[Verse 2]
You traced paths between the stars
Your fingertips created scars
But I didn’t need the sky when I had the nova in your eyes
So this is what happens when I cave in too soon
The labyrinth I’m condemned to keeps me light years from you
So I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know

[Chorus]
We were more than just catastrophe
Twisting fate lines so you and I could be
But I always feel so far away
You were where the Atlantic, Pacific agreed to meet
Overtaking the ground and flooding into me
And you always swept me away

[Bridge]
I loved that habitat we made
The place where we always dreamed awake
With you, I was home
But there’s all this chaos in my blood
And I just had to let it go
But I, I wanted to stay
So just cut your losses and hate me for it
But I don’t want to know
So just cut your losses and hate me for it
But I don’t want to know
I wanted to stay
I wanted to stay
