As you ask me to dance
I smile, it's been a while
Since I've taken the chance
You say: it's okay
And our hips start to sway
Lost in your laughter
I forget my own name
Ashamed as you catch
My eyes look away
"Stay..."
stay.
The sky welled with tears
As I got in the car
And your eyes when your ears
Heard "I can't be where you are"
Perhaps I'm afraid if I stay
Nothing will change
The lines in the street
The sound of your name
"stay..."
no.
This is a love letter,
A knit sweater,
To keep you warm
To have the work of my hand
When you don't have my arm
"Stay," okay, but we're
Changing our names
We'll be different people
In a different place
"No", you said, "Stay."
Then, I don't know what to say, I say
You treat me to your lips
And I walk away.
