Stay Awhile
Ryan Star Lyrics

Clocks marching at the double time
Time is passing quickly, and events seem to be happening twice as fast as usual.

Every dollar has become a dime
Money is losing its value rapidly, and things are becoming more expensive.

Hearts breaking at the speed of sound
People's emotions are intense and often painful, and everything seems to be happening very quickly.

Falling down, all around
Things are going wrong, and people are struggling to cope.

Bombs lighting up the eastern sky
War and destruction are happening, and innocent people are suffering.

The backroom deals and the bottom lines
Corruption and greed are causing problems, and people are making decisions based purely on profit.

The Earth's shaking, but we don't know why
Something is wrong with the world, but people aren't sure what's causing it.

A million fires, oceans rise
Natural disasters and climate change are causing destruction and devastation.

I leave it all when I feel you near
When I'm with you, all my problems and worries fade away.

What I'm saying is I need you here
I really need you in my life, and I don't want to be without you.

Even though love never seems to last
Despite the fact that relationships often end in heartbreak.

If you think we've got a chance
If you believe that we could have a future together.

Stay awhile
Please spend more time with me.

Oh you got to stay awhile
I really want you to stay with me.

These days are wild
Things are crazy right now.

So baby, won't you stay awhile
Please, stay with me for a little longer.

Drop the needle on the belle brigade
Put on some music, something slow and romantic.

We slow dance till the moonlight fades
We dance together, holding each other close, until the night is over.

Tell me now that you'll never leave
Promise me that you'll always stay by my side.

Always stay, here with me
Never leave me alone.

Keep me safe from the circus show
Protect me from the craziness and drama of the world.

The bullshit and the blowing smoke
The lies and deception that people tell each other.

The knife hidden under every sleeve
The danger and threat that lurk around every corner.

Stab your back, watch you bleed
People will hurt you and betray you without a second thought.

They're gonna tell you what you wanna hear
People will say whatever they need to in order to get what they want.

Like I can make you a star next year
People will make empty promises and offer false hope to manipulate you.

Well, if New York city's lights are so bright
If everything seems so glamorous and wonderful.

How come so many people cry tonight
Why are there still so many unhappy and miserable people?

Let your hair fall around your face
Relax, let your guard down, and be yourself.

I would kill just to keep you safe
I love you so much that I would do anything to protect you.

Put your body next to mine
Get close to me and let me hold you.

Just let go, and close your eyes
Forget about the world and everything else, and just focus on being with me.

I shiver when I feel your skin
You give me chills, and being with you is incredibly exciting.

Like a sinner who's been forgiven
Being with you is like a redemption or a new beginning.

Go on, baby, shine your light
Be yourself, and don't be afraid to show the world who you truly are.

'Cause no one's gonna find us here tonight
Let's forget about everything else and just be together in this moment.
