Lyrics
You try your best to keep a distance
You make an effort to maintain a distance
You shy away from your heart
You avoid confronting your true feelings
For every act of resistance
Each act of resistance you put up causes emotional pain
You tear me apart
Your actions are emotionally distressing
Your arms seem so conflicted
Your gestures seem uncertain and conflicting
They reach out and then stray away
Your arms reach out but then retract, displaying indecision
Are you feeling restricted
Are you experiencing limitations or constraints?
And refuse to obey
You resist following your emotions and desires
Stay in my arms
An invitation to stay in the warmth and comfort of a relationship
If you don't wanna leave me
If you're hesitant about leaving me, stay
Stay in my bed
If you struggle to find peace, stay with me in bed
If you can't get no sleep
If you crave closeness, I'm here for you
If you need to feel my arms around you
Reassurance to stay close for comfort and support
Stay right here
An emphatic plea to remain in the present moment
How long can you keep on acting
Questioning the sustainability of a facade or pretense
Can't force me to believe
Cannot be forced to believe in insincere actions
When going against your feelings
Deception is the outcome when actions contradict feelings
You only deceive
Pointing out the self-deception involved
Stay in my arms
Reiteration of the desire for closeness and connection
If you don't wanna leave me
If leaving is a struggle, choose to stay
Stay in my bed
If sleep eludes you, find solace in the shared bed
If you can't get no sleep
A reminder that comfort is available
If you need to feel my arms around you
A call to embrace the comforting embrace
Stay right here
Reinforcement of the plea to stay in the moment
Stay in my arms
Repeated emphasis on the desire for closeness
If you don't wanna leave me
If separation is difficult, choose to stay close
Stay in my bed
If sleep is elusive, find comfort in shared intimacy
If you can't get no sleep
Restate of the availability of comfort
If you need to feel my arms around you
A call to experience the emotional support offered
Stay right here
Reiteration of the plea to stay in the present
Stay right here
Continued emphasis on staying in the current moment
Why don't you stay right here
An explicit question urging to stay close
We don't have to be apart
A rejection of unnecessary distance
Stay right here
Encouragement to avoid causing emotional pain
Why don't you stay right here
Reiterating the importance of staying together
You don't have to break my heart
A plea to avoid heartbreak through separation
Stay in my arms
Reiteration of the invitation to stay close
If you don't wanna leave me
If leaving is a challenge, choose to remain
Stay in my bed
If sleep is elusive, find solace in shared intimacy
If you can't get no sleep
Restate of the availability of comfort
If you need to feel my arms around you
A call to embrace the comforting embrace
Stay right here
Reinforcement of the plea to stay in the moment
Stay in my arms
Repeated emphasis on the desire for closeness
If you don't wanna leave me
If separation is difficult, choose to stay close
Stay in my bed
If sleep is elusive, find comfort in shared intimacy
If you can't get no sleep
Restate of the availability of comfort
If you need to feel my arms around you
A call to experience the emotional support offered
Stay right here
Final plea to stay in the current moment
