Might as Well Stay

I come from a windy town on the plains

Not the kind where everyone knows your name

The kind you pass through on a long late night drive

While the devil’s asleep in the back of your mind

It wasn’t just that there was nothing to do

That you and I became a troublesome two

And though we grew up with minimal pains

That town carries with it a bag full of names

The moon hits your bloodsteam just as you were leaving

The stars they all started to lie

Time it spins backwards

Hold on to the past words

That keep you from saying goodbye

You were the notebook my secrets were kept in

I was the mirror where you checked your reflection

No way of knowing the story about

The one who got trapped and the one who got out

This town ain’t the dream that you hoped you could lose

You’ve turned into clippings of sad small town news

Upon my return I won’t recognize

The sound of your voice, the look in your eyes

The moon hits your bloodstream just as you were leaving

The stars they all started to lie

Time it spins backwards, hold onto the past words

That kept you from saying goodbye

So you might as well stay, you might as well stay

Something always gets in the way

You might as well stay

You were the notebook my secrets were kept in

I was the mirror where checked your reflection

That town still hasn’t thought nothing about

The ones who got trapped and the ones who got out
