What if I stay
Written by Caitlin Cusack
Is this joy worth pursuing if it will all be gone tomorrow?
Because you could be gone tomorrow,
you could up and leave and never say another word
And I could be here tomorrow wondering if you’d heard me
when I said I’d still be here tomorrow
But it could be me that leaves
whatever joy I’ve found here is lost
It could be me that leaves, a rebel without a cause
jetting to the next city
running from anything and everything that got too gritty
She’s running running running
I’m running running running
Cuz it’s what I do best
Running running
Hmmmm
CHORUS
What if I stay and leave the running for another lonely day
What would you say?
Let’s say that I stay
Can I trust when you say you’ll be here tomorrow -
that you’re here to stay?
What if I stayyyyy
What if I stayyyyy
POST CHORUS
The things we don’t know, they can’t hurt us
But if only you knew
What we don’t know, it won’t hurt us
but if only we knew
I don’t know what makes me more afraid
If you decide to stay or go
Would you let me know
I might be done with running if you think this could be something
I think this could be something
Now I find I’m smiling in my sleep
Dreaming about what this could be
It’s like trying to swim but I can’t breathe
I’m drowning in possibility
(But what if I stay
What if I stay)
