X-Static Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Huh
I wanna hold you
I wanna touch you
Just tell me what to do tonight
I wanna hear you
I wanna feel you
Just tell me it will be alright
I need to tell you

I need you here now
Just stay with me throughout the night
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay
To stay
With me
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay
To stay
With me
Huh
I have to leave here
But I have to be here
I saw your eyes were closed all night
I have to tell you
But can you hear me
I think it's time for you to go
Where do you go to
Why can't I find you
Displaced as I just seem to die
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay
To stay
With me
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay
To stay
With me
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay
To stay
With me
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay
To stay
With me
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay
To stay
With me
Baby
I think that I should say
I want you
To stay

To stay
With me
