Lyrics

The first time I got muddy
 I was a young boy, ten years old
 I got lost in the woods in the middle of the night
 In the dark and rainy cold
 Young and damp, a summer camp
 I was a funny little sleepwalker
 I didn't think to tie myself to that oak tree before I fell asleep
 When I stood up that night not knowing all of the while
 Where I would end up when I wake up
 Having slept-walked for a mile
 I found myself running barefoot
 Almost naked through those trees
 I was in my underwear
 With branches slapping on my face and knees
 I ran on top the rocks, wet cedar thorns and moss
 Feeling nothing, then the moon rose up and I realized I was lost
 Then nowhere close to home for the first time I was alone
 Then the lightning struck and the thunder shook
 And I called out for my mom
 Give me some attention, and that's what I yelled into the night
 Please come down and help me, show me sympathetic light
 'Cause I need someone close to me if only for a minute
 I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm just scared of what's in it
 Stay with me
 Stay with me
 Stay with me
 Stay with me
 ♪
 I had a dream last night that someone was taking my air from me
 Creating ten times as many problems as any human could solve
 They said you don't try hard enough and shoes don't always come in pairs
 They love you when you make them look good
 But despise you behind closed doors
 And with vague goals and deep cracks
 It told me I can do better than that
 Living in the shadow of someone's light that won't turn on
 You see misery isn't everything, and I'm still learning that
 Just give me the chance to turn my light back on
 Stay with me
 Stay with me
 Stay with me
 Stay with me

 In the words of my father
 Yes, I'm good enough
 Yes, I'm good enough
 Like the heart of my father
 Yes, I'm good enough
 Yes, I'm good enough, oh, oh
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 With hope and strength of an ocean tide
 Stay with me
 Stay with me
 Stay with me
 (Yes, I'm good enough)
 (Yes, I'm good enough)
 Stay with me
 (Yes, I'm good enough)
 (Yes, I'm good enough)
