Stay With Me

(アルバム： This Is What I Live For - 2020)

The first time I got muddy I was a young boy ten years old
I got lost in the woods in the middle of the night, in the dark and rainy cold
Young and damp a summer camp I was a funny little sleepwalker
I didn't think to tie myself to that oak tree before I fell asleep

When I stood up that night not knowing all of the while
Where I would end up when I wake up having slept-walked for a mile
I found myself running barefoot almost naked through those trees
I was in my underwear with branches slapping on my face and knees

I ran on top the rocks wet cedar thorns and moss
Feeling nothing then the moon rose up and I realized I was lost
Then nowhere close to home for the first time I was alone
Then the lightning struck and the thunder shook and I called out for my mom

Give me some attention and that's what I yelled into the night
Please come down and help me, show me sympathetic light
Cause I need someone close to me if only for a minute
I'm not afraid of the dark I'm just scared of what's in it

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

I had a dream last night that someone was taking my air from me
Creating ten times as many problems as any human could solve
They said you don't try hard enough and shoes don't always come in pairs
They love you when you make them look good but despise you behind closed doors

And with vague goals and deep cracks it told me I can do better than that
Living in the shadow of someone's light that won't turn on
You see misery isn't everything and I'm still learning that
Just give me the chance to turn my light back on

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

In the words of my father
Yes I'm good enough
Yes I'm good enough
Light the heart of my father
Yes I'm good enough
Yes I'm good enough

With the hope and strength of an ocean tide

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
(Yes, I'm good enough
Yes I'm good enough)
Stay with me
(Yes I'm good enough
Yes I'm good enough)
