Stay

Stay

By
Nathan Caleb Camerer


I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know
I’ve got dirty thoughts of you
Percolating between my ears and behind my eyes
They live in a space inside my mind
That place that you call “mine”
Daydreams and wetdreams that mix together like Rhum and Coke
I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know
Lightheaded and weak in the knees
You come on like a fever
Close my eyes and take deep breaths
Pictures of you and I
Upside down inside my eyes
Sweat on our bodies makes us mirrors for the Moon
Projected on the back of my eyelids
Images of us intertwined
Exploring every inch of you
I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know
This is the only moment that matters
No yesterday and no tomorrow
Just right now
We’re not late for anything
There’s nothing we’re going to miss
Exactly where we’re supposed to be,
Being who we’re supposed to be
Perfect
I’ll spend the rest of my life with you
Because I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know,
Why you’re upset
Sitting there looking stupid
In a cold sweat and hot-headed
Throwing your hands in the air
Telling me it’s not much of a life I’m living
Telling me to take something
Stop waiting for it to be given
I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know
How impossibly cute you are
The one thing that makes me happy
The one thing that can make any town bearable
You make me a believer
I feel like I can’t live without you
I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know
My word is really all I have
I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know
I’m not really sure how I feel about this,
Being a faithful sinner,
But if God don’t like me he can send me to Hell,
Because there’s something in the way you move
I love the way you move
It show’s me something
It dare’s me to come a little closer
I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know, I don’t not love you
Terrified I don’t know you
Needing this hole gone is the reason I hold on
I’m broken and broke,
But you might be the one who needs saving
Trying to see the light
Trying to figure which one caved
I wanted to stay
Round and around we go
Tell me now you know how to love somebody,
How to take it all the way
Take me all the way
Tell me now you know
