You'll Stay

Goldaine

I still see your coat on the back of my chair,

Left it here last June, guess I like it there

You said you’d call when the summer was through,

Guess the cold came faster than you

 

And I keep telling myself it’s fine,

That people fade, they take their time

But every song and streetlight glow,

Feels like a place we used to go

 

’Cause half of my heart’s still driving your way,

Still hears your laugh in every café

You were the calm I couldn’t keep,

The one that haunts me when I sleep

And half of my heart still thinks you’ll stay

 

Your name’s still carved in the bench by the pier,

It’s fading slow, but it’s crystal clear

I tried to paint over what we were,

But love’s a stain that just won’t blur

 

And I keep telling myself it’s fine,

That people fade, they take their time

But every song and streetlight glow,

Feels like a place we used to go

 

’Cause half of my heart’s still driving your way,

Still hears your laugh in every café

You were the calm I couldn’t keep,

The one that haunts me when I sleep

And half of my heart still thinks you’ll stay
