Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This week dragged past me so slowly
The days fell on their knees
Maybe I'll take something to help me
Hope someone takes after me
[Verse 2]
I guess there's always some change in the weather
This time I know we could get it together
If I did casually mention tonight
That wouldn't be crazy tonight
[Verse 3]
Stay
That's what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to, so bad this time
[Verse 4]
'Cause you can never really tell
When somebody wants something
You want too
[Verse 5]
Heart wrecker, heart wrecker, make me delight
Life is so vague when it brings someone new
This time tomorrow I'll know what to do
I know it's happened to you
[Verse 6]
Stay
That's what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to, so bad this time
[Verse 7]
'Cause you can never really tell
When somebody
Wants so much to say
[Verse 8]
That's what I meant to say or do something
But what I never say is stay this time
I really meant to, so bad this time
[Verse 9]
'Cause you can never really tell
When somebody wants something
You want too
