Stay - Jake Smith

With all the noise around,

Please tell me how I’m supposed to think

Much less try to grow

All this roar surrounds me,

Choking on all I know

Is this how it’s supposed to go?

All I say:

Oh, don’t you run away,

As cars, they pass you by

Don’t you run and hide

If we are rooted deep,

We could be like trees

And stay planted in the stream

We will grow

I can feel my heart start to beat

You are doing something to me

So how can I begin to explain,

When I’ve never felt this way,

I will stay

I will stay

So maybe I am not supposed to be planted

Amongst these flashing lights

Oh, if I can stay rooted,

I know that I would be just fine

So I say:

Oh, don’t you run away,

As cars, they pass you by

Don’t you run and hide

If we are rooted deep,

We could be like trees

And still be planted in the stream

We will grow

I can feel my heart start to beat

You are doing something to me

So how can I begin to explain,

When I’ve never felt this way,

I stay, through pain or gain,

Sun or rain, come what may

Through doubts and fears,

Through all the years,

Love will sustain,

Through everything

That we have faced or have yet to see,

You can count on me,

Yes, you can count on me,

'Cause I will grow

I can feel my heart start to beat

You are doing

Something so amazing to me

So how can I begin to explain,

When I’ve never felt this way,

I will grow

I can feel my heart start to beat

You are doing something to me

So how can I begin to explain,

When I’ve never felt this way,

I will stay

I will stay
