Wish I Could Stay

We cut the hours from eight down to four
We met in a town that I've never been before
It was too cold for walking so we drove
To some local bar

That look in your eyes, felt like a kiss
I've never felt a moment I knew I would miss
So dance with me, darlin', hold on
Like you'll never let go

And don't take me away like night meets the day
I don't wanna be like the sun when it rains
Here in your arms, I feel so alive
I've never been so scared to die

But how do I escape when it is time to say
"I wish I could stay"?

You probably ignore it when other guys say it
And blame it on alcohol
And you won't admit it, you can tell that I meant it
'Cause love gets the best of us all

We came to meet, but we didn't know
We'd be talking like it's been 20 years down the road
That's what it's like to be two strays
Who ain't so alone

So don't take me away, like night meets the day
I don't wanna be like the sun when it rains
Here in your arms, I feel so alive
I've never been so scared to die

How do I escape when it's time to say
"I wish I could stay"? Yeah!
Don't take me away like night meets the day
I don't wanna be like the sun when it rains
Here in your arms, I feel so alive
I've never been so scared to die

How do I escape, when it's time to say
"I wish I could stay"?
But how do I escape when it's time to say
"I wish I could stay"?
