Lyrics
Verse 1
Spilled some juice
Dark stains on the rented rug
Trying to fix things that already feel done
Cold hands
Cold kitchen
Cold hearts and heavy lungs
We could have walked away before it turned sour
Chorus
But I want you here
I want you here
You stay under my skin like a deep thorn
It is fine if we lose it all
Just let me keep your ghost for now
Keep your ghost for now
Post-Chorus
Just stay
Just stay
Oh oh
A little longer
Verse 2
Rain on the glass
Tapping like fingers on the wood
Checking to see if you are actually still breathing
Found a picture
Torn right down the jagged middle
Burned the edges so the fire felt good
I loved you once
I loved you twice
I loved you until it hurt my head
Chorus
But I want you here
I want you here
You stay under my skin like a deep thorn
It is fine if we lose it all
Just let me keep your ghost for now
Keep your ghost for now
Post-Chorus
Just stay
Just stay
Oh oh
A little longer
Bridge
Maybe it is madness
Maybe it is medicine
Maybe it is mercy
Running in circles around this empty room
Looking for a way to let go
Staring at the ceiling til the sky turns gray
Watching it stay gray
Wishing it stayed gray
Chorus
But I want you here
I want you here
You stay under my skin like a deep thorn
It is fine if we lose it all
Just let me keep your ghost for now
Keep your ghost for now
Outro
Soft edges on the furniture
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the change
Waiting for a sign
Maybe next year
Maybe not
Oh oh
Stay
