Just Stay

I found my fickle friend
 Out in the alley way
 He said, "You don't look so good"
 I said, "Hey doc, that's great"
 You started practicing?
 I never got the note
 So let's shake and trade
 And be on our way
 ♪
 So here we are again
 Inside your neon shrine
 Sharing a chopping block
 Under embarrassed light
 I try to hide myself
 I tuck myself away
 And we both grab hold
 Say, "No you don't"
 ♪
 The morning's hot and harsh
 My notebook fills itself
 The words come thick with sweat
 But it feels like someone else
 Is writing all of this
 Someone I just can't believe
 So I mop my brow
 Set my pen back down
 It's still me, still me
 ♪
 I'm grabbing at a feeling now
 That I could never name
 Some signpost to remind me
 How I wanted things this way
 She says you're pretty
 But you hate yourself
 I could hear it clear as day
 ♪
 I say, I sing like this
 It sounds worse than it is
 ♪
 I'm okay, okay
 I'm okay, okay
 Just stay, just stay
 Just stay, just stay
 Just stay, just stay
 Just stay, just stay
 Just stay, just stay
 Just stay, just stay
 Just stay, just stay
