Please Let Me Stay
A Plea for Connection: Andrew Applepie's 'Please Let Me Stay'
Lyrics
I got no ticket for the subway
I don't have a subway ticket
I guess I have to take a walk if I wanna get home
I might have to walk home since I can't take the subway
It's hard to get a cab on Friday
Finding a taxi is difficult on Fridays
So I was wondering if I could stay
I'm wondering if I can stay with you
together with you tonight
Suggesting staying together tonight
It would be cool if I
Expressing a desire to share space
Could share a little spot on your couch
Asking to share a spot on the couch
Am I a fool if I think that you and I could feel ok with me calling it out
Questioning if it's foolish to hope for mutual comfort when expressing feelings
Oh baby please let me stay
Plea to let the speaker stay
Cause you and I got a thing going on
Highlighting an existing connection between the speaker and the listener
I just need time and it won't take too long
Requesting time, promising it won't take too long
'til you see through me anyway
Anticipating transparency as the listener understands the speaker
And you get why I wanna stay
Expressing the reasons for wanting to stay
Cause you and I got a thing going on
Reiterating the connection between the speaker and the listener
We just need time and it won't take too long
Emphasizing the need for time and assurance it won't be prolonged
'til you see through me anyway
Expectation of understanding despite being seen through
We just need time, oh baby please let me stay
Reiterating the need for time and pleading to stay
Your dog ate my shoelace
Explaining an incident with the listener's dog
And don't you wanna watch Pretty Women 'til the end
Suggesting watching a movie together until the end
I owe some money to my room mate and I'm broke
Admitting owing money to a roommate and being financially challenged
So I was wondering if I could stay
Repeating the request to stay
Together with you tonight
Reiterating the suggestion to stay together tonight
It would be cool if I
Expressing the desire to share space again
Could share a little spot on your couch
Asking to share a spot on the couch once more
Am I a fool if I think that you and I could feel ok with me calling it out
Questioning the possibility of feeling okay by expressing feelings openly
Oh baby please let me stay
Repetition of the plea to stay
Cause you and I got a thing going on
Reaffirming the connection between the speaker and the listener
I just need time and it won't take too long
Repeating the need for time with the assurance it won't take too long
'til you see through me anyway
Expectation of understanding even if seen through
And you get why I wanna stay
Reiterating the reasons for wanting to stay
Cause you and I got a thing going on
Restating the connection between the speaker and the listener
We just need time and it won't take too long
Emphasizing the need for time and the assurance it won't be prolonged
'til you see through me anyway
Anticipation of understanding despite being seen through
We just need time, oh Baby please let me stay
Final plea to stay with a repetition of the need for time
