lyrics

STAY
by Citizen Jane

Why do we think we’re invincible
Why do we jump out of planes
Why do we think love is fictional
this ain’t just a role we’re meant to play
so why don’t you stay

Why are we not where we wanna be
these dirt roads have led us astray
building a highway to clarity
don’t you leave this love and walk away
oh, why don’t you stay

Why do we put up these silly doors
we like when they get in the way
and excuses to walk right out of them
when things are not quite okay
but why don’t you stay

let me hold your pain, my dear
don’t hide your heart away
let me love away your fear
don’t hide your heart away
baby why don’t you stay
why don’t you stay
why don’t you stay with me, babe
why don’t you
