I Kinda Wanted You To Stay

I don't know, you look too old for school
Well, you look too Russian to be in the United States
What are we gonna do
He thinks I'm joking
I love you
Okay, recorded

You ask me out like you don't know the answer
To the question hanging in the air
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
I swore I could tell how it's gonna go then
But the night decided to make a turn there
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Speeding cars and bankrupt bars
Loud laughs and Suffolk county stars
A glass of bourbon with my music on
Midnight cigarettes and muted phones
And I felt like I should I just go
Yeah, I felt that till the moment
When you touched me by accident
Hmm

And if you think about it
Could never win this game
But to be quite honest
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
We'll forget about it
Right on the very next day
But in that precious moment
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
Oh, I kinda wanted you to

We talk and it's like I've known you forever
Signs are tricky when we had a drink or two
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
My intentions change just like the weather
So I let it go with one step towards you
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Cold August nights and the lights are out
Hand in hand and eye to eye
Tangled sheets, then you and me
Clothes hanging off the chandelier
And I felt like I should just go
Yeah, I felt like that till the moment
When you said you didn't see it coming
Hmm

And if you think about it
Could never win this game
But to be quite honest
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
We'll forget about it
Right on the very next day
But in that precious moment
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
Oh, I kinda wanted you to

And we realize it's been written for us all along
I don't need to think to know
Oh, I don't need to think to know
And this is just enough for me to write a song
I love you
Say goodbye to you and go
Say goodbye to you and go

And if you think about it
Could never win this game
But to be quite honest
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
We'll forget about it
Right on the very next day
But in that precious moment
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay
Oh, I kinda wanted you to stay

Yeah, it's fragile, but there's nothing to ruin
Can't forget about what we've been doing
Kiss me in the car in the starlight
Whisper "see you soon", but you know it's a lie
Yeah, it's fragile, but there's nothing to ruin
Can't forget about what we've been doing
Kiss me in the car in the starlight
Whisper "see you soon", but you know it's a lie
