Oh
I know I should open my eyes
But I never look, no, I never think
Of a better way, of those better things
No, no
But it might be enough
See we said we'd live much bigger than
The backwood queens, surburban kings

Oh
Stay, stay
Say what you want
Say what you want me to say
Stay, stay
Me I am yours
And Rome wasn't built it in a day

See I've thought only of you
And all the grey years we could be living in
All the leaps we've made just to sink or swim
Oh, oh
So come on and open the door
Won't you wet my head and bless my sins?
Won't you take me into your arms again?


Oh
Stay, stay
Say what you want
Say what you want me to say
Stay, stay
Me I am yours
And Rome wasn't built it in a day
Stay, stay
Say what you want
Say what you want me to say
Stay, stay
Me I am yours
And Rome wasn't built it in a day

Well I never trusted
All those brighter days
And I swore it was all that I could take
But I want so much for you to stay-ay-ay

Stay, stay
Say what you want
Say what you want me to say
Stay, stay
Me I am yours
And Rome wasn't built it in a day
Stay, stay
Say what you want
Say what you want me to say
Stay, stay
Me I am yours
And Rome wasn't built it in a day
Stay, stay

Stay, stay
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
