Lyrics

You Will Stay
(Bedford-Pugh and Orton)

There's a chain-link fence,
Around all that I want to be
Guess I'll sit right here
And just admire the weeds,

Do you ever find yourself,
At the bottom of a deepening hole?
Searching for some truth,
That you're not sure that you want to know?

You say we're getting so close now
But you've never been so far away
I'll pull you back to the surface
If you promise me that you will stay
Yeah, if you swear that you will stay
Oh, please say that you will stay

I've got a big black hole,
It's where my soul is supposed to be
But I just can't believe,
And saying no has kept me free

I look deep into the flames,
I'm standing by as you burn it all up.
Will I wish for a biblical rain,
Or should I urge you not to stop?

You say we're getting so close now
But you've never been so far away
I'll pull you back to the surface
If you promise me that you will stay
Yeah, if you swear that you will stay
Oh, please say that you will stay


Looking back now
I can understand all your anger and pain
I'll try to somehow
Reset this clock, and we'll get it all running again

INSTRUMENTAL

You say we're getting so close now
But you've never been so far away
I'll pull you back to the surface
If you promise me that you will stay
Yeah, if you swear that you will stay
Oh, please say that you will stay
Come on and promise that you will stay
Will you swear that you will stay
Come on, just say that you will stay
We'll be ok if you just stay
