Lyrics
I passed the place downtown the other day
I observed a location in the downtown area recently.
I saw the kid who thought that he could have it all
I encountered a young individual with ambitious dreams.
A place to be another getaway
Describing a place as an escape or alternative destination.
The kind of nights that last until the dawn
Reflecting on nights filled with memorable experiences until morning.
The friendly faces down on memory lane
Recalling familiar and friendly faces from the past.
Said we would stay in touch but no one made the call
Expressing a promise to stay connected that was left unfulfilled.
And I can't pretend that I won't fall
Acknowledging the difficulty in pretending not to be emotionally affected.
Back in love with all that's gone
Falling back in love with what has been lost or left behind.
If only I could just stay
Expressing a desire to stay in a particular moment or situation.
If only I could just stay
Reiterating the longing to remain in a specific circumstance.
Stay for a minute
Desiring to stay for a short duration.
Just stay
Repeating the plea to stay briefly.
Stay for a minute
Emphasizing the request to stay for a short time.
If only I could just stay
Expressing the wish to stay in a particular situation.
Stay for a minute
Reiterating the desire to stay briefly.
Just stay
Repeatedly asking for a short stay.
Stay for a minute
Emphasizing the plea for a brief stay.
Stay for a minute
Repeating the request to stay for a short period.
I placed a bet on all the losing hands
Making a metaphorical bet on choices that didn't lead to success.
Said we would change the world but never got the chance
Expressing a shared intention to change the world that remained unrealized.
Like Peter Pan you stayed forever young
Comparing someone to Peter Pan, implying eternal youthfulness.
And I would love to do it all again
Expressing a desire to relive past experiences.
All of my of my best friends live in Neverland
Stating that close friends are metaphorically living in Neverland.
Said we would stay in touch but I just missed the call
Reiterating the unfulfilled promise to stay connected.
And I can't pretend that I won't fall
Admitting the difficulty in pretending not to be emotionally affected again.
Back in love with all that's gone
Falling back in love with what has been lost or left behind once more.
If only I could just stay
Expressing the desire to stay in a particular moment or situation.
If only I could just stay
Reiterating the longing to remain in a specific circumstance.
Stay for a minute
Desiring to stay for a short duration once again.
Just stay
Repeating the plea to stay briefly.
Stay for a minute
Emphasizing the request to stay for a short time.
If only I could just stay
Expressing the wish to stay in a particular situation.
Stay for a minute
Reiterating the desire to stay briefly.
Just stay
Repeatedly asking for a short stay.
Stay for a minute
Emphasizing the plea for a brief stay.
Stay for a minute
Repeating the request to stay for a short period.
