Stay the Night

You always told me you'd be there When no one else would call my phone I was sleeping all alone Days turning into summer nights We'd walk these roads a thousand times We could never get it right But tell me what you think Could you really leave me Or would you stay the night? We were lost and didn't know anything All our fights, they didn't fix anything But would you stay the night? 'Cause we walked through darkness that night When we tried to talk it over There's some things you hold on so tight And others you just let go I tried to give this all I had But it wasn't enough to make you stay the night If I told you what you want to hear Then maybe I could get some sleep And you would stop talking to me The flames burning, smoke is in the air Tables turning upside down You knew that I would let you down But tell me what you think Could you really leave me Or would you stay the night? 'Cause we were broke and didn't know anything All our fights, they couldn't fix anything But would you stay the night? 'Cause we walked through darkness that night When we tried to talk it over There's some things you hold on so tight And others you just let go I tried to give this all I had But it wasn't enough to make you stay the night Can we take it easy? The words you thought would tease me only helped to lead me Backing off is easy, yeah The reasons, they go on and on, yeah The beauty that I saw is gone So I thought that you could hold me down And keep me in a washed up town, nah Tell me what you think Could you really leave me Or would you stay the night? 'Cause we walked through darkness that night When we tried to talk it over There's some things you hold on so tight And others you just let go I tried to give this all I had But it wasn't enough to make you stay the night
