Stay Over
Tove Lo Tove Lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You give me my birthday kiss
I gave you a pill, said, "You get high off of this"
You hit a few parties, then I
I stay where I was 'cause I hope that you come and find me

See in your eyes, you just went through war
Whatever it was broke your heart
You dip your toes back and take it slow
Well, I'm nothing like what you had before, so

Already deep in my bed, baby
Why don't you stay over?
Know we been bendin' the rules lately
But why don't you stay over?
Fall hard, I know it's fast
You just left through the surface
Already deep in my bed, naked
So why don't you stay, stay, stay, stay over?
So why don't you stay, stay, stay over?

You give me my birthday kiss
I gave you a night that you will never forget
I know that you plan to be free for a while
But you can free with me, I've been where you are

See in your eyes, you just went through war
Whatever it was broke your heart
You dip your toes back and take it slow
Well, I'm nothing like what you had before, so

Already deep in my bed, baby
Why don't you stay over?
Know we been bendin' the rules lately
But why don't you stay over?
Fall hard, I know it's fast
You just left through the surface
Already deep in my bed, naked (yeah)
So why don't you stay, stay, stay, stay over?
(Why don't you? Why don't you?)
So why don't you stay, stay, stay over?
(Why don't you? Why don't you?)

Don't back away from this, don't back away
I know it's intense, losing our senses in this love
So don't back away from me, don't back away
No, 'cause what we have, I've never felt before, so

Already deep in my bed, baby (yeah)
Why don't you stay over?
Know we been bendin' my rules lately
But why don't you stay over?
Fall hard, I know it's fast
You just left through the surface
Already deep in my bed, naked (yeah)
So why don't you stay, stay, stay, stay over?
(Why don't you? Why don't you?)




So why don't you stay, stay, stay over?
(Why don't you? Why don't you?)

Why isn’t this a single?? Such a great song. Amazing album too.

@brandialford6079

It's a shame and blessing at the same time that's she's not all over mainstream.. she's definitely good enough but I'm glad the industry can't taint her music

@Wtftoveis

I want her to be more famous, but I kinda want to gatekeep her at the same time

@ChitrakarD

This album has all the songs perfectly suited for her sexy voice. 💖
