Purple Pink
Sammy Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, let's make a deal
You pay me a visit and I'll make you a meal
Oh, you already ate?
Never knew you to turn down food so I'll fix you a plate
Just in case
Just knock, the doorbell stinks
Enjoy your float on over, the sky is purple pink
Yeah, kick off your shoes
Our couch could be more comfy, but it beats our old church pews

So what's to lose if you stay a while?
I got some new material and I'd kill to make you smile
So what you think?
Stay

And by material, well, I meant jokes
Well, we can play some songs too, like we used to for our folks
Oh, you know this tunе?
I guess that I've been humming it since last I lеft your room
It always loops, it stays a while
You should really take note, I missed you and your argyle socks, okay
Stay
And I know that I did not say happy birthday one year
Sometimes I hold my tongue for fear of coming off insincere
You know how when you say words so many times, it sounds like hooey
Don't want that to happen with the "I love you"-ies

So how about this?
You stay a little while longer
Or stop by when I'm dreaming and I'll sleep another hour
So what you say?
Stay
For that I pray every day

So if you can
Stay
