Stay

Shakespeare's Sister

If this world is wearing thin 
and you're thinking of escape 
i'll go anywhere with you 
i'll do anything it takes [just wrap me up in chains] 
but if you try to go alone 
don't think i'll understand 

stay with me, stay with me. 

in the silence of your room 
in the darkness of your schemes [ ... dreams] 
there among the souvenirs [you must only think of me] 
and the useless memories [there can be no in between] 
when your pride is on the floor 
i'll make you beg for more 

stay with me, stay with me. 

you'd better hope and pray 
that you'll be safe [ that you make it safe] 
in your own world [back to your own world] 
you'd better hope and pray 
that you're gonna awake [that you wake one day] 
back in your own world [in your own world] 
[cause when you sleep at night they don't hear your cries] 
[in your own world] 
[only time will tell if you can break the spell] 
[back in your own world] 

stay with me, stay with me.
