Flyleaf - Stay lyrics

rate me

Green light, 7-Eleven<br />

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes<br />

You don't smoke, don't even want to<br />

Hey now, check your change<br />

Dressed up like a car crash<br />

Your wheels are turning but you're upside down<br />

<br />

You say when he hits you, you don't mind<br />

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive<br />

Oh no, is that what it is?<br />

<br />

Red lights, gray morning<br />

You stumble out of a hole in the ground<br />

A vampire or a victim<br />

It depends on who's around<br />

You used to stay in to watch the adverts<br />

You could lip sync to the talk shows<br />

<br />

And if you look, you look through me<br />

And when you talk, you talk at me<br />

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing<br />

<br />

If I could stay then the night would give you up<br />

Stay, and the day would keep its trust<br />

Stay, and the night would be enough<br />

<br />

Faraway, so close<br />

Up with the static and the radio<br />

With satellite television<br />

You can go anywhere<br />

Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast, and Berlin<br />

<br />

And if you listen I can't call<br />

And if you jump, you just might fall<br />

And if you shout I'll only hear you<br />

<br />

If I could stay then the night would give you up<br />

Stay, then the day would keep its trust<br />

Stay, with the demons you drowned<br />

Stay, with the spirit I found<br />

Stay, and the night would be enough<br />

<br />

Three o'clock in the morning<br />

It's quiet and there's no one around<br />

Just the bang and the clatter<br />

As an angel runs to ground<br />

Just the bang and the clatter<br />

As an angel hits the ground<br /><br />
