just stay
I found my fickle friend Out in the alley way He said, You don't look so good I said, "Hey doc that's great You started practicing ? I never got the note So let's shake and trade And be on our way " Let's go, go, go  So here we are again Inside your neon shrine Sharing a chopping block Beneath embarrassed light That tries to hide from us It tucks itself away So we both grab hold And say no you don't Just stay, just stay  And I'm racing towards The one mistake That locks me in my place The judgement call That justifies the smirk stuck on my face My crooked life scared straight and stiff By the last wrong turn I'll take But I'm not there yet so come purr, my pet Let's play, let's play  The morning's hot and harsh My notebook fills itself The words come thick with sweat It feels like someone else Is writing all of this Someone I just can't believe When I mop my brow Set my pen back down It's still me, still me  And I'm grabbing at a feeling now That I can't ever name Some sign post to remind me How I wanted things this way  And she said, it's pretty But you hate yourself I can hear it clear as day And I say, a sin like this It sounds worse than it is I'm okay, okay I'm okay, okay Just stay, just stay
