Lyrics

Verse 1

Pavement stones

Sharp grit beneath my boots

Worn leather cracking open at the seams

Heard your voice inside a body I don’t know

Heavy head

Thick wool coat

Buttons missing in the rain

Funny how the posture stays the same

Chorus

Do I stay

Do I go

The memories are folded in

Your skin is paper thin

Do I stay

Do I go

You’re a map I cannot read

A stranger with a frantic need

Post-Chorus

Stay or go

Stay or go

Left or right

Day or night

Verse 2

Shoulders slumped

Cold wind catching in your teeth

Looking right through the person standing here

Borrowed face wearing a familiar frown

Pale hands

Trembling light

Fingers reaching for a ghost

Lost the things you used to love the most

Chorus

Do I stay

Do I go

The memories are folded in

Your skin is paper thin

Do I stay

Do I go

You’re a map I cannot read

A stranger with a frantic need

Bridge

Maybe it's the season

Maybe it's the salt

Maybe it's the timing

Looking for a reason

Searching for the fault

Nothing here is climbing

I turn around

I look away

I walk away

Chorus

Do I stay

Do I go

The memories are folded in

Your skin is paper thin

Do I stay

Do I go

You’re a map I cannot read

A stranger with a frantic need

Hook

Folded in

Folded in

Walking thin

Paper skin

Do I go

Go

Go
