I Want You to Stay

[Verse 1] I rewrite my life beneath moonlight Please hold me now 'til my breath runs out There are many things that I am not But there's one thing that I can't deny A double bluff You fed me lines The shortest cut You're searching for A mesh of tones surround your eyes I wish I knew how it came to this [Chorus] I always said you could rely on me Now it seems that I was wrong I want you to stay I want you to stay with me Cause nothing works 'round here Where cranes collect the sky I long for the neon signs of night Cause nothing works 'round here You know the way I feel Can you remember what we had? [Verse] Why do you think I overtake I speak to you and you don't say no A camera runs just to collect I wish I knew how it came to this The lies we tell are found on film And you start to push your lips to mine Outside my room you closed your eyes And in the end it came to this [Chorus] I always said you could rely on me Now it seems that I was wrong I want you to stay I want you to stay with me Cause nothing works 'round here Where cranes collect the sky I think of your face at night Cause nothing works 'round here You know the way I feel Can you remember what we had? [Post-Chorus] As time gets more compressed You're always my reminder A lifetime disappears Can you remember what we had? As time gets more compressed You're always my reminder (reminder, reminder, reminder, reminder, reminder, reminder...) As time gets more compressed You're always my reminder (reminder, reminder, reminder, reminder, reminder, reminder...) You know the way I feel You know the way I feel
