You Don't Have to Stay Forever
Unforgettable Encounters: Echoes of Longing in Reckless Kelly's Melody
Lyrics
Everybody held their breath when you walked in
Anticipation and attention as you entered
Guess no one thought to tell me you were back in town again
Surprise at your return, unaware of your presence
Everyone remembers how you shut me down
Recollection of a past rejection by you
And let me tell you jaws were dropping
Attention-grabbing impact when leaving together
left and right when we walked out
Notable reactions from onlookers during the exit
Its so good to see you now
Expressing joy at seeing you again
Its as though you were never gone
Feeling like no time has passed since your departure
Even after all this time
Longing for you despite the elapsed time
And I want you more than ever
Intensified desire for you now
And I know you can never be mine
Acknowledgment that a relationship is not possible
You don't have to stay forever
Stating that your presence doesn't have to be permanent
You don't have to stay forever
Reiterating that you don't need to stay forever
You don't have to stay forever
Emphasizing the temporary nature of the stay
Maybe you could stay tonight
Suggesting the possibility of staying just for the night
Arm in arm out strolling down on Riverside
Describing a shared moment on Riverside
Two broken hearts beating fast and right in time
Both hearts beating in sync despite past pain
I got nothing to loose I might as well lay it on the line
Openness to vulnerability, risking rejection again
And I don't want to be alone so wont you stay with me tonight
Expressing a desire for companionship tonight
Its so good to see you now
Reiterating joy at the current reunion
Its as though you were never gone
Feeling as if no separation occurred
Even after all this time
Enduring affection over the elapsed time
And I want you more than ever
Current intensified longing for you
And I know you can never be mine
Acknowledging the impossibility of a relationship
But you don't have to stay forever
Repeating the idea that staying forever is unnecessary
You don't have to stay forever
Emphasizing once again that forever is not required
You don't have to stay forever
Repeating the sentiment about the unnecessary permanence
You don't have to stay forever
Further reinforcing the idea of not staying forever
Maybe you could stay tonight
Suggesting the option of staying just for the night
No one feels the same against my skin
Expressing the unique and comforting feeling of your presence
Feels so right just to be with you again
Feeling right and natural to be together again
I'm still not over the first time you let me go
Acknowledging the lingering impact of a past separation
But I don't hold that against you
Not holding past grievances against you
And I wanted you to know
Communicating forgiveness and understanding
Its so good to see you now
Reiterating joy at the ongoing reunion
Its as though you were never gone
Feeling as if no time has passed since your departure
Even after all this time
Enduring affection over the elapsed time
And I want you more than ever
Current intensified longing for you
And I know you can never be mine
Acknowledging the impossibility of a relationship
You don't have to stay forever
Repeating the idea that staying forever is unnecessary
You don't have to stay forever
Emphasizing once again that forever is not required
You don't have to stay forever
Repeating the sentiment about the unnecessary permanence
Maybe you could stay tonight
Suggesting the option of staying just for the night
