Buffy Musical Episode - Standing In The Way/ Wish I Could Stay lyrics

rate me

GILES<br />

your not ready for the world outside<br />

you keep pretending, but you just can't hide<br />

i know i said that i'd be standing by your side<br />

but i...<br />

<br />

your path's unbeatten and it's all up hill<br />

and you can meet it, but you never will<br />

and i'm the reason that you're standing still<br />

but i...<br />

<br />

i wish i could say the right words to lead you through this land<br />

wish i could play the father and take you by the hand<br />

wish i could stay, but now i understand<br />

i am standing in the way<br />

<br />

the cries around you you don't hear at all<br />

cuz you know i'm here to take that call<br />

so you just lie there when you should be standing tall<br />

but i...<br />

<br />

i wish i could lay your arms down and let you rest at last<br />

wish i could slay your demons, but now that time has passed<br />

wish i could stay, your stalwart standing fast<br />

but i am standing in the way<br />

i'm just standing in the way<br />

<br />

TARA<br />

i'm under your spell<br />

God how can this be? playing with my memory<br />

you know i've been through hell<br />

Willow don't you see, there'll be nothing left of me<br />

you made me believe<br />

<br />

GILES<br />

believe me i don't want to go<br />

<br />

GILES AND TARA (TOGETHER)<br />

and it'll grieve me 'cause i love you so<br />

but we both know...<br />

<br />

GILES<br />

wish i could say the right words to lead you through this land<br />

AND TARA (SAME TIME)<br />

wish i could trust that it was just this once but i must do what i must<br />

<br />

GILES<br />

wish i could play the father and take you by the hand<br />

AND TARA (SAME TIME)<br />

i can't adjust to this disgust we're done<br />

<br />

GILES AND TARA (TOGETHER)<br />

and i just wish i could stay (x4)
