Lyrics Alkaline Trio – Stay

Things have been getting pretty rough around here
No coffee cups flying ’round the room
Just daggers born from tears
Let’s try to crawl out from under our breath

I learned to breathe I guess some time ago
But just recently I learned what it means to take it slow
I’m lousy with excuses and you know I love to swear
So goddammit, I swear to whatever’s out there
That I love you more now than I ever have, so

Let’s pick another day to call it quits and walk away
Let’s find some other time to break down
The storm has gone and blown on through
Shake off the darkness and I will too
You might leave me still, but not today
For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?

You would think by now that I’d be fine
Ya’ know, like really stretching out
But it would all be lies
I’m no longer in control of my own shoes
There they go
Quickly running out of booze
Drinking to kill myself to live without you
Over there, where I still stare
Sometimes

Let’s pick another day to call it quits and walk away

For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?

For now, can we just stay?
