Stay What You Are - Senses Fail
All the maps of the world have been drawn
There's nothing to explore except your face
I keep getting older
But my heart stays the same age
I'd never want to live forever
Cause I'd have to watch everyone die
Death is what makes this whole life
Meaningful, it's what keeps me alive
I'm scared to death that I
Will never make it out alive
And I'll be stuck in this mess forever
The older that I get the more I find
That each moment is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves the Day
You never made it home, you spent the night with me
When I was young it was a mystery
It took me years but now I finally see
What it is that you meant to me
"Stay What You Are" will always be our eulogy
When it rains in LA people lose their sh_t
Just like I lost my mind in 2006
That anxious boy has been
Buried in a shallow ditch
One day when I'm rotting in my grave
I'll look back on my life and I will say
"Why the hell did it take me so long
To back that bottle off of my lips?"
Am I wasting all my time
Trying hard to find the line
Between holding on and letting go?
The older that I get the more I find
That each moment is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves The Day
You never made it home, you spent the night with me
When I was young it was a mystery
It took me years but now I finally see
What it is that you meant to me
"Stay What You Are" will always be our eulogy
I remember when you whispered in my ear
"Do not fear when I am gone I'll be right here"
When all the world is wasting away
I'll hold my heart and say your name
The older that I get the more I find
That each moment is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves The Day
You never made it home, you spent the night with me
When I was young it was a mystery
It took me years but now I finally see
What it is that you meant to me
"Stay What You Are" will always be our eulogy
Am I wasting all my time
Trying hard to find the line
Between holding on and letting go?
