Stay

(album: The Nature Of Hope - 2023)

Hey, been a minute since we talked through the walls like this
Lately, there's so much I wanna tell you 'bout the life you've missed
All the birthdays
And the worst days
At my first show when all our friends came
Oh I wish you could see it now

I'm still sorry even though I know it's not my fault
I'm still losing sleep at night just waiting for your call
Even if you thought that leaving was the only choice to make
I can't help but wish that—wish that you chose to stay

Wish that you chose to stay

Thank you, now I always double check when they say I'm fine
Got you tattooed, in the graveyard on my chest 'til the day I die
Well the years pass but the time slows, I still look for you in the back row
Oh I wish I could see you now

I'm still sorry even though I know it's not my fault
I'm still losing sleep at night just waiting for your call
Even if you thought that leaving was the only choice to make
I can't help but wish that—wish that you chose to stay

Wish that you chose to stay
