Stay Just A Little
Longing Echoes: Stay Just A Little
Lyrics
I heard it in your voice when your love died
The speaker sensed the end of love in the other person's voice.
On a telephone connection stretching miles and miles of wire
Communication happened over a long-distance call, emphasizing the emotional distance.
You said it was over and then cried and cried
The person declared the end of the relationship and expressed deep sorrow.
You were gone before I said goodbye
The departure occurred abruptly, leaving no chance for a proper farewell.
Would you stay just a little, my love?
The speaker pleads for the person to stay a little longer.
Would you sway just a little, my love?
The speaker asks for a slight change in the person's decision or emotions.
'Cause the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up
A metaphorical hole in the heart is mentioned, signifying emotional emptiness.
If you stay just a little that's enough
A small extension of time with the person is requested, implying it would be sufficient.
It kills me as I lay awake at night
The speaker is tormented during sleep, reflecting on the last, uncomfortable shared kiss.
Remembering the last kiss that we shared doesn't feel right
The memory of the last kiss feels wrong, indicating a troubled relationship.
Is it impossible for me to win this fight?
The speaker questions the possibility of winning back the person's love.
Keep you a little longer in my life
Desire to prolong the presence of the person in the speaker's life.
Would you stay just a little, my love?
Repetition of the plea for the person to stay a little longer.
Would you sway just a little, my love?

If you stay just a little that's enough

Additional vocalizations conveying emotion.
'Cause the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up
