Lay Here

I remember I was singing about September
 When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar
 And I'd been singing for the last six nights
 And I could barely talk to tell you just how pretty you were
 But you were as pretty as a preachers wife on Sunday
 I was useless like a church bell on a Friday night
 And I felt like a tragedy all dressed in dirty clothes
 When you walked out before I could say
 How when you stepped in
 And the world stopped spinning
 I gotta let you know
 Just how I've become an artist
 And how things fall apart
 It's the only thing I know
 Won't you just stay here
 We can just stay here
 We can just stay here
 Won't you just stay here
 Spent the whole next night on the telephone
 We were both alone just waiting on a change
 And I remember I felt as suave as a prom date
 15 minutes late in a rented suit and his mothers car
 The next night was a Monday and you came over to my house
 We hardly talked about anything, but it never got quiet until we
 Kissed our first of many and the clock hands took reprieve
 From the round the clock labor of their day to day
 'Cause when you steped in
 And the world stopped spinning
 I've gotta let you know
 That I know it will I don't know when that time will matter again
 But I don't want to let you go
 Won't you just stay here
 Won't you just stay here
 We can just lay here
 We can just lay here
 I was thinking I'd swing by sometime around midnight
 Turn my headlights off when I get near
 And let's say you and me, we get the hell out of this town
 'Cause we're the only thing that ever happened here
 I've got 50 dollars and if we ride with the windows down
 And I screen my smokes I think we'll make it into Georgia
 And improvise from there
 And everybody knows from here
 That you can't go to hell without passing through Atlanta first
 I'll find a dead end job and
 I'll try to write a dead end song
 Just thoughtless enough to make the radio
 And we'll drink wine like water
 As if we had a sorrow to drown
 If that don't work it's alright, baby
 We can just stay here
 We can just stay here
 'Cause when you stepped in
 And the world stopped spinning
 I gotta let you know
 Just how I've become an artist
 At how things fall apart
 It's the only thing I know
 Won't you just stay here
 We can just stay here
 We can just lay here
 We can just lay here
 We can just stay here
 (Stay here)
 We can just stay here oh
 (Stay here)
 We can get away dear oh
 (Away dear)
 We can just lay here
 I remember I was singing about September
 When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar
