Stay

You’ve gotta go

To go see a show

That a small town like me can’t provide.

You’ve dreamed of a start

That’s a lifetime apart

From how I make you feel inside.

Your castle awaits

Where a panel of fates

Wants to hear of your fall fashion line.

I’ll help with your coat

And row over the moat

All while insisting I’m fine.

When you came along

And we started our song

We both knew one day it would end.

I dreamed of five-one

But you dreamed of more fun

So I tell people you’re just a friend.

I hope your sunsets

Are as good as it gets

And your kingdom will kneel and bow

While at the same time

It feels like a crime

That I want to say “stay” anyhow.
