Stay The Day
Kiss Kiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweat on the angels
Led to the fire
A beautiful place indeed
Cross in the wood that shed tears of liars
Magnificent time to lead

But stay the day
I want the sun
A close embrace
Draws two to none
But I feel it ending
In a bright starry gaze

It's all my fault
Gravity just stopped
And we all just floated away





It's all my fault
Gravity just stopped

The song continues to describe the environment, mentioning a cross in the wood that's shedding tears of liars, which could be interpreted as a sign of forgiveness or repentance.


But then comes the chorus, where the singer urges his companion to stay the day and embrace the moment while it lasts.
