STAY

She’s a very special girl with her own way
She’s your lover and your child on the same day
She speaks in all the beautiful colors, but she sees in grays
And it’s too easy to dismiss her, so you just stay
And she says la-de-da

She says that you’re a very special boy, and you make her smile
And when you hold her in your arms, she wants to stay a little while
But she passes off your loving eyes as juvenile
And when you talk about the future, she falls back on denial
And she says la-de-da

So now you’re trying to impress her, she walks away
Says it’s the moments when you’re quiet that make her want to play
So you ask her for forever in some old fashioned way
And it’s the answer she lays on you that makes you want to stay
I want to stay with you.
