Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This week dragged past me so slowly
The days fell on their knees
Maybe I'll take something to help me
Hope someone takes after me
I guess there's always some change in the weather
This time, I know we could get it together
If I did casually mention tonight
That would be crazy tonight
[Verse 2]
"Stay"
That's what I meant to say, or do something
But what I never say is, "Stay this time"
I really meant to, so bad, this time
'Cause you can never really tell when somebody
Wants something you want too
[Verse 3]
Heart wrecker, heart wrecker, make me delight
Life is so vague when it brings someone new
This time tomorrow, I'll know what to do
I know it's happened to you
[Verse 4]
"Stay"
That's what I meant to say, or do something
But what I never say is, "Stay this time"
I really meant to, so bad, this time
'Cause you can never really tell when somebody
Wants so much to stay
[Verse 5]
That's what I meant to say, or do something
But what I never say is, "Stay this time"
I really meant to, so bad, this time
'Cause you can never really tell when somebody
Wants something you want too
