Stay

Chasing dreams for years, she left when they had called her name
As the Atlantic rises, things won't be the same
But can I convince you, it's not an issue, the distance where you are
There's only ocean in between

So we linger, silence is the hardest part
Can you tell I'm stalling?
This ain't for the faint of heart

Just say you'll miss me when you're gone
Trying to keep my head up
Trying to keep my head above
And I can't keep holding on
Your currents hard to follow
And I don't want to let go
But I can't make you stay

And I'm terrified without her I'm an island now
And I don't want to be the one who lets you down
But I'm barely breathing, can't help thinking you might be too far
With all this ocean in between

Then we linger, silence as we grow part
Even now I'm stalling, hoping for a change of heart

Just say you'll miss me when you're gone
Trying to keep my head up
Trying to keep my head above
And I can't keep holding on
Your currents hard to follow
And I don't want to let go
But I can't make you stay

I can't find you now, you're slipping through my hands
Am I the only one, then I can play pretend
Just give me something I can trust
Cause I'm not giving up on us, not giving up on us

Please say you'll miss me when you're gone
Trying to keep my head up
Trying to keep my head above
And I can't keep holding on
Your currents hard to follow
And I don't want to let this go

Miss me when you're gone
Trying to keep my head up
Trying to keep my head above
And I can't keep holding on
Your currents hard to follow
And I don't want to let go

But I can't make you stay
Your gone
Above the waves
But you don't know
No you don't know
I wish that you had stayed
