Stay Close Lyrics

Abide in the mornings

And I've been waiting here for days

Got nothing to show for it

Nothing that's standing in my way

I don't know what my hope is

I don't know what I'm asking you for

A kind of atonement

For you to walk through that door

Thought I heard you coming

Thought I heard you retrace my steps

Thought I was just bluffing

I was trying to win back what I've spent

'Cause in all my running

I think it's just a matter of time

'Til you're disappointed

Until I hate what I find

When the waves shake the ballast

When love breaks the law

More than the cost of my silence

More than the sum that I've lost

If you'd die just to reach me

What are you waiting for

I stay close in the silence

I stay close 'til it's gone

I need to understand

That you were never out of time

You're fate in happenstance

You put the thorn in my side

Just swear there's an answer for this

It's just on the other side

Of whatever mirror that we're looking in

Whatever choice I can't decide

When the waves shake the ballast

When love breaks the law

More than the cost of my silence

More than the ones that you've lost

I would die just to reach you

'Cause I've loved you so long

I'll stay close in the silence

I'll stay close to your heart

It's gonna come down in fire

It's gonna come down in waves

It's gonna feel like you're dying

It's gonna feel like you're saved

You gotta run just to find it

Or you're the son that remains

It's all the same to the father

We're all lost either way
