Let Me Stay

Verse 1

I saw you on a Tuesday

Across a crowded avenue

You laughed at something someone said

And I forgot what I came to do

Verse 2

I have been careful all my life

Counted every step I took

Then you turned your head and smiled

And every rule went up in smoke

Chorus

So let me stay

Let me stay

A little longer than I should

Let me stay

Let me stay

I have never been this good

At anything but leaving

Now I want to learn to stay

Verse 3

My friends all say I'm foolish

Say a man my age should know

That a heart is just a habit

And a habit's hard to hold

Chorus

So let me stay

Let me stay

A little longer than I should

Let me stay

Let me stay

I have never been this good

At anything but leaving

Now I want to learn to stay

Bridge

I have packed a thousand suitcases

I have practiced every goodbye

But your hand is on my shoulder

And I cannot remember why

Chorus

So let me stay

Let me stay

A little longer than I should

Let me stay

Let me stay

I have never been this good

At anything but leaving

Now I want to learn to stay

Outro

Let me stay

Let me stay

Just a little longer

A little longer

Let me stay
