Clocks marching at the double time
Every dollar has become a dime
Hearts breaking at the speed of sound falling down, all around oh oh
Bombs lighting up the eastern sky
The backroom deals and the bottom lines
The Earth's shaking, but we don't know why, million fires, oceans rise oh oh
I leave it all when I feel you near
What I'm saying is I need you here
Even though love never seems to last
If you think we’ve got a chance
Stay awhile
Oh you got to stay awhile
These days are wild
So baby, won't you stay awhile
Drop the needle on the belle brigade
We slow dance till the moonlight fades
Tell me now that you'll never leave always stay, here with me oh oh
Keep me safe from the circus show
The bullshit and the blowing smoke
The knife hidden under every sleeve, stab your back, watch you bleed oh oh
They’re gonna tell you what you wanna hear
Like, "I can make you a star next year"
Well, if New York city's lights are so bright, how come so many people cryin' tonight
Stay awhile
Oh you got to stay awhile
These days are wild
So baby, won't you stay awhile
Let your hair fall around your face
I would kill just to keep you safe
Put your body next to mine
Just let go, and close your eyes
I shiver when I feel your skin
Like a sinner who's been forgiven
Go on, baby, shine your light 'cause no one's gonna find us here tonight
Stay awhile
Oh you got to stay awhile
These days are wild
So baby, won't you stay awhile
Stay awhile
Oh you got to stay awhile
These days are wild
Baby won't you stay awhile oh
Stay awhile
Oh you got to stay awhile
These days are wild
Baby won't you stay awhile hey
