Stay
I'm laying in my bed just thinking of you
Another sleepless night, oh, what should I do?
I call you up to say I need you tonight
As predicted, you tell me it's alright
Slip into your bed, want you to hold me
It's safe here and the opposite of lonely
You wrap yourself around me, I'm protected
Feels much better than I had expected
Your fingertips on my skin make me crazy
Right or wrong? The line between gets hazy
I look into your eyes, I think I'm falling
Suddenly, I hear my conscience calling
I know I shouldn't be here, but I can't go
I try to walk away, but I just can't so
. . . I stay
Roll over and I know this is my chance now
Must convince myself to leave you somehow
But wide awake, I watch you as you're sleeping
Forgive me for the simple act of peeping
Inhale, exhale; God, it's so symphonic
You're breathing kills me softly, how ironic
Your hands find their way back to me, a lost cause
Brain pushes play, my body's still stuck on pause
I can't move, not even sure I'm trying
Addicted to the pressure you're applying
To my skin and, once again, I'm falling
Suddenly, I hear my conscience calling
I know I shouldn't be here, but I can't go
I try to walk away, but I just can't so
. . . I stay
Take my hand and pull me into your chest
Can hear your heart beat where I come to rest
I breathe you in, you're my new favorite scent
If it's a sin, it's not one I'll repent
Who knew your first invite would lead to this?
And if it ends, there's just so much I'll miss
The way your feet find mine under the sheets and
The way that your hands work hard to chart my land
Territories you search with your fingers
How sometimes when you stop, the feeling lingers
It's torture, what you do, you've got me falling
Suddenly. I hear my conscience calling
I know I shouldn't be here, but I can't go
I try to walk away, but I just can't so
. . . I stay
Morning comes and here I am in your bed
Those same old thoughts of leaving still in my head
Remain inside your arms, you're holding me tight
I already know I'll be back tonight
As you wake, I realize I love this place
Wish I could always wake up to your face
Shouldn't be pretending you're mine to keep
Next time I should tell myself to just sleep
But then you kiss my neck, I lose it, I'm done
Your lips on my skin, oh, no, I can't run
So far down, I'm feeling myself falling
I hear it, but ignore my conscience calling
I shouldn't want you, but I just can't say no
Should kick you out of my heart, but I can't so
. . . just stay
