Stay With Me
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's take a ride through the city
Watch the sparkling towers as we drive
Then when we arrive to our apartment on the east side
We'll curse at all the stairs we have to climb

Oh it's worth it for the view
Wakin' up each morning next to you
It don't matter where we'll be
Home is when you're here with me
Home is when you're here with me

Let's head out west to the mountains
We can walk any path we choose
Then when we come back to our house among the red rocks
We won't mind those pebbles in our shoes 

Oh it's worth it for the view
Wakin' up each morning next to you
It don't matter where we'll be
Home is when you're here with me
Home is when you're here with me

We could go to the ends of the earth
Sail across the ocean to some foreign sea
I'll take photographs of us against the world
Wherever we may land is home to me

(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
Home is when you're here with me
(Home is when you're)

Oh it's worth it for the view
Wakin' up each morning next to you
It don't matter where we'll be
Home is when you're here with me
It don't matter where we'll be




Home is when you're here with me
Home is when you're here with me

Line by Line Meaning

Let's take a ride through the city
Let's go on a journey through the bustling metropolis


Watch the sparkling towers as we drive
Observe the gleaming skyscrapers as we travel


Then when we arrive to our apartment on the east side
Once we get to our dwelling on the opposite side of town


We'll curse at all the stairs we have to climb
We'll complain about the flight of stairs we must ascend


Oh it's worth it for the view
But the vista is worth the effort


Wakin' up each morning next to you
Rising each dawn beside you


It don't matter where we'll be
No matter our location


Home is when you're here with me
My home is wherever you are


Let's head out west to the mountains
Travel to the mountainous west


We can walk any path we choose
We can select any trail we desire


Then when we come back to our house among the red rocks
Upon returning to our abode amidst crimson terrain


We won't mind those pebbles in our shoes
We won't bother about the stones in our footwear


We could go to the ends of the earth
We could venture to the farthest corners of the world


Sail across the ocean to some foreign sea
Cruise over the sea to distant lands


I'll take photographs of us against the world
I'll capture pictures of us against the backdrop of the globe


Wherever we may land is home to me
No matter where we arrive, it's home to me


(Oh oh oh, oh oh)


(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)


(Oh oh oh, oh oh)


Home is when you're here with me
My home is wherever you are


It don't matter where we'll be
No matter our location


Home is when you're here with me
My home is wherever you are
