For A While
Mimi Page Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come stay with me for a while
Too many endings
Too many false starts
Lets forget this world
And mend our broken hearts
Cause I'm tired of feeling
So sad and blue
Lets forget this world
And start something new
We both know
That nothing ever lasts now
We both know
That time is flying fast now
So pause this moment
Just for a night
Pause this moment




And hold me tight
Come stay with me for a while
