Stay
Unveiling the Hidden Depths: Sarah Bettens' 'Stay' Meaning Revealed
Lyrics
So it's such a great surprise
Expressing surprise at a situation
To wake up to your disguise
Discovering someone's hidden identity or true self
You pretend to be just like us
Not being genuine, pretending to fit in
But you're my peace of mind
Finding comfort and tranquility in someone
You can take the mood I'm in
Having an impact on the speaker's emotions
And turn it into something that's all right
Turning negative feelings into something positive
Oh it's alright
Acknowledging that everything is okay
Things can't get much better
Expressing contentment with the current situation
You might have to stay
Suggesting that the person should stay in the speaker's life
To make sure I never forget about today
Highlighting the importance of cherishing the present moment
You might have to stay
Reiterating the idea of someone staying
You might have to stay
Emphasizing the possibility of someone staying
I don't really want to know
Expressing a lack of desire for certain information
How this story will unfolded
Uncertainty about the unfolding events
I can only hope you'll wait until it's told
Hope that someone will wait for the story to develop
I go out and find my way
Embarking on a personal journey
You can do the same but I need ooh you
Encouraging independence, but needing the person addressed
I can be alone but only when I'm holding you
Being comfortable alone only when holding the person
Things can't get much better
Repeating the idea that things are going well
You might have to stay
Suggesting that someone staying will enhance the moment
To make sure I never forget about today
Reiterating the importance of remembering the current day
You might have to stay
Emphasizing the potential need for someone to stay
You might have to stay
Repeating the idea of someone possibly staying
We're all ready there
Referring to a state of readiness or preparedness
The only ones here
Indicating a sense of exclusivity or intimacy
Things can't get much better
Reiterating the positive state of affairs
You might have to stay
Repeating the idea of someone staying for the speaker's benefit
To make sure I never forget about today
Underlining the importance of remembering the current day
Things can't get much better
Affirming the positive state of affairs
You might have to stay
Reiterating the potential need for someone to stay
To make sure I never forget about today
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the current day
You might have to stay
Repeating the idea of someone possibly staying
You might have to stay
Emphasizing the potential need for someone to stay
You might have to stay
Repeating the idea of someone possibly staying
You might have to stay
Emphasizing the potential need for someone to stay
