Lyrics: Make Me Stay

I’m going to turn
And walk away
You wait till I
Am far along
The run and come
And catch my arm
And say you’d die
If I were gone
I want to hear you
Call my name
It’s too easy just to
Say it soft
I don’t like my language
Watered down
I don’t like my edges
Rounded off

I can’t always wait
For your circumstance
To improve
Love is loose
It shifts each time you move
Go ahead put my
Back against the wall
Give it all up
Or don’t give it to me at all
You never know
This could be
Our last night
So step back
Step back into the light
So I can see
Your silhouette
I’m not done looking yet

Save the profile
For the camera
Give me your eye to eye
I know all your secrets
And you know
All of mine
Mostly I don’t go
For the soft focus
And the fantasy
I need something real
I can think
And say and see so

I’m going to turn
And walk away
You wait till I
Am far along
Then run and come
And catch my arm
And say you’d die
If I were gone
Yes, I’m going to turn
And walk away
You can watch me go
Or make me stay
