here i am
flesh and bones
and skin and teeth
i haven't felt your touch
for 10 or more weeks
i won't impress you
with all of these blues
and my crying eyes
I'll pull back my hair
pretend i'm not scared
and show you a winking smile
Because I want you to stay.
I want you to stay.
I'm thinking of you
and last year's rules
and how excatally they've changed
I cannot play
And I'm here to say
It's wierd and deranged
And I want you to stay.
I want you to stay.
Get into your car
Driving for miles away and away
I'll bite my lip
And tell you things
but not what I'm thinking today
Of how you'll buy her a ring
And for a career you will sing
and you'll be happy without me
I'll move to the country
We'll have kids and a family
and I'll miss you madly
Because I wanted you to stay.
I wanted you to stay.
Alone in your car
It's dark and it's quite as you held my hand
You're words are thick. your eyes are closed and you're the worst kind of man.
I'll run the bath. I'll drown as I laugh. Let the bubbles reach the fan.
I want you to stay. I want you to stay.
