STAY STAY Songtext
von Cole Steef

Thoughts just like an ivy spreads
And I′m stuck with the visual of an IV
Curdling red at the base
And all the times I said I loved you
I could keep them in a vial
So, you should be relieved to hear from me now
But what's that to do when all I will know
Is you and your brittle bones
Your jaundiced cheeks, so clearly, I will see
In "I love you"


When I live in skin, bounded by a dome
That breaks each sonder like a dust cloud
There′s a whirlpool of sensitivity
With your emotions on the outer rim, and
I know what I don't like to touch
And what I don't like to hear
And one of those things that swathes my stomach round my spine
Is hearing you tell dearest friends how much I don′t love you, and
You turn to me and laugh, like a jester′s epitaph
But I've seen you cry and say we don′t get along, cuz I won't say I

I′ll be fine in a minute
Just gotta get my body conditioned
Cuz who knows how my blood will surpass
Limits as high, so I
Might need you to convince me
The express you're taking out is close by
D′you mind? Cuz it's the kind
Of special I'd like to run a little behind, please

Stay half a minute longer
Say you won′t be around
Pray that it′s just a joke, and
Like a golden ticket, from your bed, you will bound


Ah, please don't spite me now
I tell myself to shut up when I′m
Living by a maxim of "show, don't tell"
I punch holes in a piano roll
Slip it through, and wind it over
It′s the score, and when you remind me, it
The dam goes breaking in my eyes
Though I'm stoic in most moments
You′re the only one that stirs some sort of high
And it's what I like to do
To make up for what I won't tell you, so
Comfortably, I sit
But each holiday, I forget

Set this future in retrograde
This heart monitor berates me
You′re bothered not that you′re dying
But you're dying with a lifetime behind you of
Beckoning calls and effortless responses
After each wind where you saved the child
Stop this going on and on
If it takes a thousand volts to keep you up, I′ll make you know that I

Stay half a minute longer
Say you won't be around
Pray that it′s just a joke, and
Like a golden ticket, from your bed, you will bound

Right

You don't need to tell me anything
But I need to tell you everything
Before you can tell me nothing
Just stay plugged in
It′s odd to remember

Each time you hold me
And wonder what will I do
Scold me
For staying reluctant, yet again
Boldly, boldly, boldly
I'll be holding my toe
Just above the tar rising in the

Deep, deep, deep deep, ah
Deep, deep, deep deep, ah
The more hesitation, the greater an event it will be
So, before this day, before this day
Watching your fingers fall with each tick of the wave, I
Don't wanna be asking you to stay
But something tells me I′ll be asking you to stay
I don′t want to be asking you to stay, but
Something tells me I'll be asking you to

Stay, stay half a minute longer
Say, say you won′t be around
Pray, pray that it's just a joke
And out from your bed, you will bound

I need you to stay, stay half a minute longer
Say, say you won′t be around
Pray, pray that it's just a joke
And out from your bed, you will bound

Stay, ah ha ha ha
Stay, ah ha ha ha
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Ah, I need you to stay
