Stay by The Michael Character Lyrics
Everything's going fine
Not much variance from year-to-year
I’m an aggregate of modest improvements
A patchwork I hope looks sincere
I've got my Labor Day sale Macy's suits
I’ve got my $3,000 brace-less smile
I've got a comfortable bed to come home to
I've got some time; we could hang for a while
The train runs ‘till midnight
Or maybe 12:30am
We could probably make it
If we run straight to Park Street
I used to wander around downtown at night
When I was just 18
Alone in my cargo pants
And my loose-fitting ska band tees
I still love the light from these streetlamps
Amber and lovely
The chill of a cool breeze
Wet sidewalk and canvas sneaks
I tasted freedom in a late-night drive to a diner in Philly
Connor's cousin was the head chef
And he made this fancy fucking mac & cheese
Underage drinks and triple parking
Making out on a flat modern sculpture
A summer fling
A autumn heartbreak
A college song
A new apartment
Everything's going fine
Not much variance from day-to-day
I still hurt folks with my indecision
I'm still basically selfish I'd say
Still chasing the high of a late-night drive
But the thrill has gone away
If 10,000 miles in five weeks won't cut it then I’d say
I’d rather stay
I don't want career change
I’d rather stay
I don't want to chase fame
I'd rather stay
I don't want to move to Philly
I’d rather stay
I don't want to lose you, baby
I'd rather stay
Not much variance from year-to-year
I’m an aggregate of modest improvements
A patchwork I hope looks sincere
I've got my Labor Day sale Macy's suits
I’ve got my $3,000 brace-less smile
I've got a comfortable bed to come home to
I've got some time; we could hang for a while
The train runs ‘till midnight
Or maybe 12:30am
We could probably make it
If we run straight to Park Street
I used to wander around downtown at night
When I was just 18
Alone in my cargo pants
And my loose-fitting ska band tees
I still love the light from these streetlamps
Amber and lovely
The chill of a cool breeze
Wet sidewalk and canvas sneaks
I tasted freedom in a late-night drive to a diner in Philly
Connor's cousin was the head chef
And he made this fancy fucking mac & cheese
Underage drinks and triple parking
Making out on a flat modern sculpture
A summer fling
A autumn heartbreak
A college song
A new apartment
Everything's going fine
Not much variance from day-to-day
I still hurt folks with my indecision
I'm still basically selfish I'd say
Still chasing the high of a late-night drive
But the thrill has gone away
If 10,000 miles in five weeks won't cut it then I’d say
I’d rather stay
I don't want career change
I’d rather stay
I don't want to chase fame
I'd rather stay
I don't want to move to Philly
I’d rather stay
I don't want to lose you, baby
I'd rather stay
