If you want me to stay
I won’t get in your way
I would stay today
If you would only say
I don’t need you to hold my hand
And you don’t have to be my man
Please just help me to understand
What the ocean needs from the sand
I’ve sat and waited a long while,
You won’t hang it up, just redial
Just pass the days in denial
I accept it all with a smile
If you want me to stay
I won’t get in your way
I would stay today
If you would only say
Silence so uncomfortable
Are both our feelings mutual?
It’s exciting to have potential
but friendship is more essential
Than love that becomes ritual
Now you’ve spoken of your wedding
I know she wears the other ring
But tell me just what sort of thing
to your life does she even bring?
How’d she hook you by your heartstring?
If you want me to stay
I won’t get in your way
I would stay today
If you would only say
I thought we shared things in common
I’ll open wide and give you some
With her you sure ain’t getting none
To which you have grown accustomed
I can’t wait for it to go down
Honey, I’m headed outta town
Look for me, I won’t be around
Here now, still you look at the ground
I hold a place however small
My presence is perpetual
Like the paper that adorns your wall
You can’t paint over me at all
Finding me is inevitable
Still you and I both sleep alone
Thus the seeds may never be sown
The truth of love will not be shown
Our tale will always be unknown
