Stay (2022 Sessions)

Been on my own since I was ten

Show any weakness and you're dead

Now look at me, emeralds on my wrist

My heart beats, trying to get out of my chest

Is this what it feels like to lie down and rest?

When I wake up, you're painting

When I wake up, you're here

Maybe I'll stay

The stones glitter hard and bright and clear

Maybe I'll stay

You make me want things I thought would never be mine

I learned to love the leaving, that was fine

Now look at me, a messy bed in the corner

My lover mixing just that shade of green

Is this what it feels like to be seen?

When I wake up, you're painting

When I wake up, you're here

Maybe I'll stay

Morning light, hard and bright and clear

Maybe I'll stay

Watching the world you see

Come into shape on the canvas

The way you look at me

Can I escape from the canvas?

Colors hard and bright and clear

In the middle of it all

I'm here

You're painting

Oh, I think I'll stay

Hard and bright and clear

I'm here
