Please Stay
Embracing Solitude: A Plea to Preserve Love
Lyrics
These four walls became a home
These four walls have become a place of comfort and familiarity.
since the day you walked in
Since you entered my life.
My heart ceased to be alone
My heart no longer feels lonely.
since the moment that you took my hand and pulled me closer -
You made me feel closer to you by holding my hand and pulling me in for a kiss unexpectedly.
kissed me unexpectedly and told me it’s ‘cause you want me to
You kissed me unexpectedly and explained it was because you wanted me to understand what I'd miss if I didn't respond.
know what I’d be missing if I didn’t call you back
I called you back in response.
I picked up the phone - How could I have known
I couldn't have foreseen what would happen next.
that one day I will be the one to say:
I now find myself in a position where I'm pleading for you to stay.
CHORUS
Repetition of the plea for the person not to leave.
Please stay don’t go
I can't imagine living in this space without you, and even simple greetings wouldn't sustain our relationship.
Please stay don’t go
-Please stay don’t go
-I can’t live inside these walls if it ain’t you that I came home to
-I don’t think we will survive on just ‘hello’
I don't believe our relationship can survive on sporadic communication.
every now and then on a small screen
Communicating sporadically through technology isn't enough for me.
I say goodnight when by you the morning rise
I say goodnight while you're waking up, creating a time difference between us.
and another day will pass by that I can’t kiss you quietly
Each day passes without being able to express my affection physically.
like I used to when you came to bed and laid your head upon my chest
I miss the intimacy of you laying your head on my chest.
Instead I lie here on my own tryna’ forget that you already left
I'm trying to forget that you're no longer here with me.
as my words echo in this empy bed
My thoughts and words linger in this empty bed.
CHORUS
Repeated plea for the person not to go, emphasizing the inability to sleep without them.
Please stay don’t go
-Please stay don’t go
-Please stay don’t go
-I can’t fall asleep without the shape of you that I fit into
I can't sleep without physically being close to you.
BRIDGE
Transition to a bridge in the song.
I wish I met you at a different time
Regretting the timing of our meeting, wishing it could have been different.
when neither one of us would have to go
Expressing the desire for neither of us to have to leave.
Is it wrong of me to hope that someday we might meet again
Is it wrong to hope for a future reunion?
and that our stars would realign?
Wishing that circumstances align for us to meet again.
CHORUS
Repeated plea for the person to stay, unable to sleep without their presence.
Please stay don’t go
-Please stay don’t go
-Please stay don’t go
-I can’t fall asleep without the shape of you that I fit into
Reiteration of the inability to sleep without the physical presence of the person.
