Stay

I stepped through the looking glass,
Walk on by, just a sweeping glance.
Never cared for wasted hours I amassed.

I’d pick up all my longing, and regret,
Heading to a new day, without relent,
And take the lie of my content
Wherever that I went.

I was stuck in my old ways
And let-down days.
But now I’m here, caught in the grey,
I know that I can be.
I know that I can be.
Stolen moments, fear and joy.
So suddenly, so easily, I see,
What’s been right in front of me.
And I can finally say,
I think that I can stay.
I think that I can stay.

Maybe I have lost my way,
And maybe I could fly away
But now that I can only see the grey,
I take a step to you and say,
That I could finally stay. 

I’d pick up all my longing, and regret,
Heading to a new day, without relent.
I’d take the lie of my content
 Wherever that I went.

I was stuck in my old ways
And let-down days.
But now I’m here, caught in the grey,
I know that I can be.
I know that I can be.
Stolen moments, fear and joy.
So suddenly, so easily, I see,
What’s been right in front of me.
And I can finally say,
I think that I can stay.
I think that I can stay.

Somehow, my defenses
Will just wear away.
And now I’m standing in today.
Chasing all my demons far away.

I was stuck in my old ways
And let-down days.
But now I’m here, caught in the grey,
I know that I can be.
I know that I can be.
Stolen moments, fear and joy.
So suddenly, so easily, I see,
What’s been right in front of me.
And I can finally say,
I think that I can stay.
I think that I can stay.
