Just Stay Lyrics - Put Your Ghost To Rest - Kevin Devine

I found my fickle friend 

Out in the alley way 

He said, you don't look so good 

I said, hey doc, that's great 

You started practicing? 

I never got the note 

So let's shake and trade 

And be on our way 

Let's go, go, go 

So here we are again 

Inside your neon shrine 

Sharing a chopping block 

Beneath embarrassed light 

That tries to hide from us 

It tucks itself away 

So we both grab hold 

And say no you don't 

Just stay, just stay 

And I'm racing towards 

The one mistake 

That locks me in my place 

The judgment call 

That justifies the smirk stuck on my face 

My crooked life scared straight and stiff 

By the last wrong turn I'll take 

But I'm not there yet so come purr, my pet 

Let's play, let's play 

The morning's hot and harsh 

My notebook fills itself 

The words come thick with sweat 

It feels like someone else 

Is writing all of this 

Someone I just can't believe 

When I mop my brow 

Set my pen back down 

It's still me, still me 

And I'm grabbing at a feeling now 

That I can't ever name 

Some sign post to remind me 

How I wanted things this way 

And she said, it's pretty 

But you hate yourself 

I can hear it clear as day 

And I say, a sin like this 

It sounds worse than it is 

I'm okay, okay 

I'm okay, okay 

Just stay, just stay
