about

“Stay” is a love song born of a real relationship. In times that get rocky, the urge to leave can be overwhelming, but “what do we get when we stay?” Rather than painting a picture of the bliss that will be gained, “Stay” juxtaposes images of impermanence, and the fleeting nature of life and the seasons. The song asks love to stay, to claim happiness in whatever form and for however long they can. Beautifully complemented with accordion and Latin percussion, the song feels like it blew in on the Texas wind, while it whispers of a universal experience.

lyrics

Stay

What is leaving gonna get you
Not the peace you hoped you’d find
When you toss it in the back seat
Like so much trash you left behind
I can chase you to the driveway
I ain’t afraid to make a scene
Cause we’re not breaking all our promises
Over words we know we didn’t mean

It’s easier to walk away
The hardest part is knowing when to stay
Like the golden hour light, Like the full moon on the rise
Like the flower on the vine, Like what I think is mine
Baby, what do we get when we stay

You know my demons like your own skin
And chose to love me anyway
It’s not so easy to hold me
You only bend so far before you break
We’ll start by counting all our blessings
More than the stars up in the sky
They never question why they’re turning
But they’re thankful for the ride

It’s easier to walk away
The hardest part is knowing when to stay
Like the young man’s righteousness, like a baby on the breast
Like the winter wind that blows, on the springtime's early rose
Baby, what do we get when we stay

Like the child who grows up too fast
And knowing nothing ever really lasts
When the memories fade away
Where’s the part of us that wants to stay

Like the dream that we made real, like the heart that cannot heal
When the memories fade away, where’s the part that wants to stay
Baby, look what we get when we stay
