Lyrics

stay close

Living foul but I feel my best
Been growing roots in amongst the wreck
Don't know where but I lost my head
I still like you but I won't admit it

Nothing to say, leave it all to fate
Can't hear a thing when you call my name
Moving swift I don't need permission
Talking so loud but I won't listen

Stay close to me
Even though I'm just leaving
Head over heels
For someone that you can't reach

Memories faded
My nail polish scuffs on the pavement
I've been patient but I can't for long

Worship on your knees
Tell me "pretty please"
Now lie to me, give me what I need
What I need, l-l-l-lie to mе
Give me evеrything

Stay close to me
Even though I'm just leaving
Head over heels
For someone that you can't reach
For someone that you can't reach
For someone that you can't reach
For someone that you can't reach

I've been up there
Angels round me
I think I'm dead they braid my hair like
I'm a God

Stay close to me
Even though I'm just leaving
Head over heels
For someone that you can't reach
For someone that you can't reach
For someone that you can't reach
For someone that you can't reach
