Stay Right There

Violet as a color crayon
We were running through the fields
You had flowers in your hand
We were all chasing phantoms
Baby you would hold them still and I'd grab them

If you're scared of the dark
Let the rundown street lights be your stars and then
Picture swings in the park
And I'll swing with you sing it

Sing it with me
And we'll go howling at the moon

It's no use living if you're already dead
It's not worth saying if its already said
Even if all goes over your head
Believe it if you want to
So keep your eyes on the road and your head in the stars
Follow it down the rabbit hole just a little while longer
You can change anything if you want to
Sing it like, if you want to

The next time I turn around
You'll have grown into a woman in a single bound
I hope I never take you for granted
Spending time with you is all that I wanted
And I'll go back to when you were small
Burning all our favorite records onto CD-ROM
We were splitting headphones in a hammock
To a soundtrack we could get lost in

It's no use living if you're already dead
It's not worth saying if its already said
Even if all goes over your head
Believe it if you want to
So keep your eyes on the road and your head in the stars
Follow it down the rabbit hole just a little while longer
You can change anything if you want to
Sing it like, if you want to

If you're scared of the dark
Let the rundown streetlights be your stars
Let 'em know who we are
Let them shine for you

It's no use living if you're already dead
It's not worth saying if its already said
Even if it all goes over your head
Believe it if you want to
So keep your eyes on the road and your head in the stars
Follow it down the rabbit hole just a little while longer
You can change anything if you want to

Said it's no use living if you're already dead
It's not worth saying if its already said
Even if it all straight to your head
Believe it if you want to

Our story began as cliche as it gets
Not looking for love just a night out with friends
You walked in the door onto my movie set
The fat lady sang and pigs started flying

Said I never let a lover so down deep inside my soul
People telling me to settle but I always wanna roam
Now you make me wanna stay even when I gotta go
Now you’re all up in my head I can feel it in my bones
Everything is passing people places
Ever since you happened can’t stop laughing
On our silver screen ain’t no silver lining

Everybody wants that cinematic love
Like when you close your eyes the kind you’re thinking of
Tell me will you be my co star darling
Until the credits roll its just you and me
We’re gonna write our own rom com honey
Name on the marquee cue the symphony

Said I never let a lover so down deep inside my soul
People telling me to settle but I always wanna roam
Now you make me wanna stay even when I gotta go
Now you’re all up in my head I can feel it in my bones
Everything is passing people places
Ever since you happened can’t stop laughing
On our silver screen ain’t no silver lining

Everybody wants that cinematic love
Like when you close your eyes the kind you’re dreaming of
Reach out and touch that hand that’s gonna fit the glove
Everybody wants that cinematic love

Your performance is perfection
You don’t need no one’s direction
You can have all my attention
Want no drama only action

Everybody wants that cinematic love
Like when you close your eyes the kind you’re dreaming of
Reach out and touch that hand that’s gonna fit the glove
Everybody wants that cinematic love
Everybody wants that cinematic love
Everybody wants that cinematic love

I want to keep you in an honest place
Because you’ve been hiding for a thousand days
Lower level at your parent's place
With your head held down
I remember when you held the magic
Now you’re acting like you never had it
Get in the car man
It's too damn tragic to let you drown

Here now turn it around got to love it or let it go
With our eyes closed and some wings to fly
Singing OoO OoO

Why’d you go and never ask me to stay
Why you push the ones
Who love you away
Don’t close the curtain on a brighter day
When history could repeat it

Now its time to get a little higher
When God made you he made a fighter
You just spent a little more time
Being lost than found

Here now turn it around
Got to love it or let it go
With our eyes closed
And some wings to fly singing OoO OoO
Right now in the sound of a song from long ago
With our arms out
And some road to drive singing OoO OoO

And all of this weight you carry let go
I want to let you know my heart would break
If you ever tried to leave again that way
The funny thing is when I carry you
It carries me

It carries me
Right now in the sound of a song from long ago
With our arms out
And some road to drive singing OoO OoO

I want to keep you in an honest place
Because you’ve been hiding for a thousand days
Lower level at your parent's place
But not right now

Sonny never asked about you
He only wanted lemonade
And I’ve been standing here in plain view
But you always keep me in the shade

And I could be your alibi
If you wanted to give it a try
Sonny never asked about you
He only wanted lemonade

And the ringing of the telephone
Doesn’t answer even when he’s home
If I could be be your knight in white
You could check up on me every night

Will you let me be your alibi
Or pass up on it every time

Sonny never meant to find you
He only wanted lemonade

You got that far fetched look in your eye
Staring at me like it’s a waste of time
Far fetched look in your eye
Searching for answers on the ground
Far fetched look in your eye
Staring at me like it’s a waste of time
Far fetched look in your eye
Searching for answers on the ground

You’re worth the wait
I know that

And I don’t mind to wait my turn
But I’m not sure that you’ll ever learn
Eventually I’ll walk away
If I don’t hear you ever say

I see you in a brand new light
It's time that we give this a try

Sonny never asked about you
He only wanted lemonade

You got that far fetched look in your eye
Staring at me like it’s a waste of time
Far fetched look in your eye
Searching for answers on the ground
Far fetched look in your eye
Staring at me like it’s a waste of time
Far fetched look in your eye
Searching for answers on the ground

Sonny never asked about you
He only wanted lemonade
And I’ve been standing here in plain view
But you always keep me in the shade

Just once please look my way

You got that far fetched look in your eye
Staring at me like it’s a waste of time
Far fetched look in your eye
Searching for answers on the ground
Far fetched look in your eye
Staring at me like it’s a waste of time
