Stay A While
linus and amy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long time since I've seen your smile
But when I close my eyes
I remember
You were no more than a child
But then so was I
Young and tender
Time carries on
I guess it always will
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still
Stay for awhile
Well, it's good to see your smile
And I love your company
Stay for awhile
And remember the days gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts
Clear summer days
Warm and lazy
Long walks, long talks, after dark
We vowed we'd never forget
Now it's hazy
Time takes its toll
And time alters our view
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you
Oh, stay for awhile
Well, it's good to see your smile
And I love your company
(oohhh) stay for awhile
And remember the days gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Stay...
(please stay)
Stay, stay, stay...
One, two, one, two
Stay for awhile
Well, it's good to see your smile
And I love your company
(oohhh) stay for awhile
And remember the days gone by
Just the way it used to be
Stay for awhile
Oh, it's good to see your smile
And I love your company
Won't you stay with me for awhile
And remember the days gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
(the way it used to be. be...




The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aahhhh ooooh
Now, now, now, now...hoohhh...)

Overall Meaning

The song "Stay A While" by Linus and Amy is a heartfelt ballad that speaks of longing and nostalgia for the past. The lyrics reminisce about a relationship that has faded with time but still holds a special place in the singer's heart.

The song speaks to the emotional effects of time and how fleeting moments can be as the lyrics state, "Time carries on, I guess it always will. But deep inside my heart, time stands still." The invitation to "stay for a while" is a plea for a chance to recapture those moments and memories of the past. The singer is yearning to regain the connection that he once had and is asking for the other person to stay a while longer and remind him of the good times.

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home-bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your precious memory

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home-bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight

A Thousand Miles
Vanessa Carlton

Makin' my way downtown, walkin' fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead, just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Livin' in your precious memory
'Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
Oh, 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight

And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't

Makin' my way downtown, walkin' fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead, just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd

And I still need you
I still miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, oh, oh

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you
Tonight
