#128 STAY-GO
#128 STAY-GO
(Americana)
(DEMO)
(Full Arrangement)
You smile -- wave me over, open arms,
I curl up tight and close by your side.
You stare at your screen and just frown,
Couldn't ignore me more if you tried.
Stay-go, stay-go,
Dream to break clean
Stay-go, stay-go,
Poles I am frozen between.
There's what I feel,
There's what I know.
And here I am,
Stuck in stay-go.
You sit up and gently pull away,
Then get up, say you're needing a walk.
I think of fourteen things I could say,
Try one -- you shake your head "Let's not talk."
Stay-go, stay-go,
Could head north, could head south.
Stay-go, stay-go,
I hate your face, I kiss your mouth
There's what I feel,
There's what I know.
Yet here I am,
Stuck in stay-go.
You head to bed early -- catch up on sleep,
The proof I'm unloveable -- I start to weep.
Journaling all the ways I can't be desired,
Swing to the safety of this thought -- I'll say you're just tired.
Stay-go, stay-go,
I'm so sick of this place.
Stay-go, stay-go,
Back again to my sad little space.
There's what I feel,
There's what I know.
Still here I am,
Stuck in stay-go.
Stay-go, stay-go,
Trap of my own choosing,
Stay-go, stay-go,
Far from winning, safe from losing
Fear what I feel,
Deny what I know.
These set the table to remain,
Stuck in stay-go.
