Please Stay, May 2007

Good story, ey?

You came into my room that night
Roses in hand for the girl in the spotlight
I was the one you wanted to meet
You swept me off my feet

Sitting backstage, preparing for the show
Warming up the voice and getting ready to go
The curtain's raised, you're not in your seat
I'm on stage, I can't repeat that

Somehow when you're near, I run out of things to fear
Unkind lights and stage fright run away
So maybe I don't know what's right
But I know I want you tonight
I know you're ready to go
But please stay

You've seen me at my worst
Unprepared and unrehearsed
I sing my song and the audience laughs
At my unintentional gaffes
I see you walking away
Won't you stay

Somehow when you're near, I run out of things to fear
Unkind lights and stage fright run away
So maybe I don't know what's right
But I know I want you tonight
I know you're ready to go
But please stay

I... can't play
You don't turn back as you walk away
Theatre doors close behind
I'm the last thing on your mind

Somehow when you're near, I run out of things to fear
Unkind lights and stage fright run away
So maybe I don't know what's right
But I know I want you tonight
I know you're gone, you're gone
But please stay
