Stay
If you want to go then go
If you want to stay then stay
We've been here too many times
To make believe it matters either way
I could linger on the way you tap your fingers on the table
But like rain showers in April, babe, you always just pass through
I could hang on every word you said to me if I were able
I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to
We were always playing games
Like cowards who just can't commit
Been stuck here too many times
To make believe we're ever gonna quit
It's been feathered into fairytales
It's weathering the pages
To welcome it or waste it, babe, you're gonna have to choose
And I wouldn't give the world, but I would miss these sweet exchanges
I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to
I know it isn't perfect
And we both have our doubts
Too scared to lose the ones we're probably better off without
Shouldn't be so easy leaving
I wish I understood
Why we always find ourselves one step away from gone for good
We're at our loneliest together, yeah, it's only me and you
I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to
If you want to stay then stay
We've been here too many times
To make believe it matters either way
I could linger on the way you tap your fingers on the table
But like rain showers in April, babe, you always just pass through
I could hang on every word you said to me if I were able
I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to
We were always playing games
Like cowards who just can't commit
Been stuck here too many times
To make believe we're ever gonna quit
It's been feathered into fairytales
It's weathering the pages
To welcome it or waste it, babe, you're gonna have to choose
And I wouldn't give the world, but I would miss these sweet exchanges
I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to
I know it isn't perfect
And we both have our doubts
Too scared to lose the ones we're probably better off without
Shouldn't be so easy leaving
I wish I understood
Why we always find ourselves one step away from gone for good
We're at our loneliest together, yeah, it's only me and you
I wish that you would stay, but you don't have to
