Want Me To Stay

from Like An Echo by Emma Lloyd

/

lyrics

The light on the ceiling is sunset
The light on your face is surprise
As though you only met me for the first time
and it made you shy
I don't think I knew I was saying
The thing that you knew that I said
I always thought you'd run right for the exit
Here you are instead

And I don't think my luck has turned,
I've been burned too many times before
But you seem sure

It could get worse
Everything together
It could go on forever,
It sure feels that way
But it might be true
Nonetheless that you
Want me to stay

In movies it makes you feel different
In movies it makes you be brave
But all I have to offer is that I don't think that I will cave
You reach out your hand and I take it
I reach for your face and you grin
Well, I can learn a thing or two
Like you and how you let me in

And nothing else around me's changed,
It's the same world as before--
With something more

It could get worse
Everything together
It could go on forever,
It sure feels that way
But it might be true
Nonetheless that you
Want me to stay
It could get worse
Everything together
It could go on forever,
It sure feels that way
But it might be true
Nonetheless that you
Want me to stay
Want me to stay
