Hope You Stay

Oh no, there's a band tonight at the restaurant

Where you've come for food and small talk

And music's not what you want

Well I'm not sorry

They've paid me to be here to sing these songs

Take it up with a manager

Or just find your seat and don't be here long

It's hard enough to be here, to put it all on the line

We can both get what we want, And it'll be just fine

The manager's making his way down to the makeshift stage

Excuse me sir, sorry to say, we've had some complaints

You need to turn it down or we'll pull the plug on this whole charade

This constant battle trying to keep dignity sustained

It's hard enough to be here, to put it all on the line

We can both get what we want, And it'll be just fine

I don't mean to cause you trouble, Or get in your way

But I'll be here all night and you don't have to stay

Guess I'll make it look like I'm turning some dials

On the mixing board

Create the illusion the best I can, he was not ignored

It's hard enough to be here, to put it all on the line

We can both get what we want, And it'll be just fine

I don't mean to cause you trouble, Or get in your way

But I'll be here all night and you don't have to stay

I hope you stay, I hope you stay

I hope you stay, I hope you stay
