Stay The Night

Sam Barber

Singer-songwriter

Remember riding in the winter on the ice-cold leather seats?
A couple crushed dollar bills and a bad-photo fake ID
We were young and devoted, learning things that you can’t teach
Then I first touched your skin in a rust-box Cherokee
Now the bottle on the nightstand sits alone by your old ring
You didn’t run away from love, darling, oh, you ran away from me
Oh, you ran away from me

Oh, and I’ve been wondering for some time
Well, if you hate me that much, why do you stop by?
And I can’t get you outta my mind
If you’re still hung up, then just stay the night

Oh, and I could never bear it, but for you, I did not need
Now I’m running out of time, you’re the only drug that was good for me
And the words that I can’t form are worth more than your good deeds
How do I put you through hell if you put me at ease?
When I see you in the same room and stare into those eyes
As much as you still care, I can see what you despise

Oh, and I’ve been wondering for some time
Well, if you hate me that much, why do you stop by?
And I can’t get you outta my mind
If you’re still hung up, then just stay the night

If you’re still hung up, then just stay the night
