Please, Stay

Frost is gathering on the glass

So you pull over to the Hotel de La Past

It could be The Grand or The Bates Motel

You've lived in them both at the top and on the butcher's block

Clerk puts out a cigarette

And she asks, "are you alright?"

Sometimes it's hard to feel the tears rolling out your eyes

"Have you been here before, I feel I know you well"

I'm so far from home, I feel I've lost myself

You can't stay, stay

As long as you need, need

You can stay, stay

you don't ever have to leave

"What was your name?"

Oh, I didn't say it yet

"We'll make one for you sometimes it's for the best"

"Oh, we'll call you Rose for the rose in your cheek"

"No, we'll call you Blue for the birds when you speak"

So many try to hide in these yellowed rooms

Hide from something or someone in the light or the gloom

But you can't stay, stay

As long as you need, need

You can stay, stay,

you don't ever have to leave

You can't stay, stay

As long as you need, need

You can stay, stay

you don't ever have to leave

You can't stay, stay

As long as you need, need

You can stay, stay

you don't ever have to leave
