Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
[PreChorus]
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you
[Verse 2]
And here I go, losing my control
I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth, indeed
[PreChorus]
It's time, tell you why
I say it's infinitely true
[Chorus]
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
Yeah, I need to know all about you
[Verse 3]
And there's no cure and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired, I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
[PreChorus]
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
[Chorus]
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
Yeah, I need to know all about you
[Chorus]
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
Yeah, I need to know all about you
[Bridge]
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
[PreChorus]
Now, it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
It's time, tell you why
I say it's infinitely true
[Chorus]
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
Yeah, I need to know all about you
[Chorus]
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go like you do
Sway my way
Yeah, I need to know all about you
[Outro]
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
