Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Green light, 7-11

You stop in for a pack of cigarettes

You don't smoke, don't even want to

Hey now, see you check your change

Dressed up like a car crash

The wheels are turnin' but you're upside down

You say when he hits you, you don't mind

Because when he hurts you, you feel alive

Oh, now is that what it is?

Red lights, gray morning

You stumble out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depends on who's around

You used to stay in to watch the adverts

You could lip sync with the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me

And if you talk, it's not to me

And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay

Then the night would give you up

Stay

And the day would keep its trust

Stay

And the night would be enough

Far away, so close

Up with the static and the radio waves

With satellite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans

London, Belfast, and Berlin

And if you listen, I can't call

And if you jump, you just might fall

And if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay

Then the night would give you up

Stay

And the day would keep its trust

If I could stay

With the demons you drowned

Stay with the spirit I found

Stay and the night would be enough

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Three o'clock in the morning

It's quiet and there's no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel hits the ground
