Maximo Park - I Want You To Stay

I rewrite my life, beneath moonlight

Please hold me now, till my breath runs out

There are many things, that I am not

But there's one thing that, I can't deny

A double bluff, you fed me lines

The shortest cut, you're searching for

A mesh of tones, surround your eyes

I wish I knew, how it came to this

I always said you could rely on me

Now it seems that I was wrong

I want you to stay

I want you to stay with me

‘Cause nothing works ‘round here

Where cranes collect the sky

I long for the neon signs of night

‘Cause nothing works ‘round here

You know the way I feel

Can you remember what we had

Why do you think, I overtake

I speak to you, and you don't say no

A camera runs, just to collect

I wish I knew, how it came to this

The lies we tell, are found on film

And you start to push, your lips to mine

Outside my room, you closed your eyes

And in the end, it came to this

I always said you could rely on me

Now it seems that I was wrong

I want you to stay

I want you to stay with me

‘Cause nothing works ‘round here

Where cranes collect the sky

I think of your face at night

‘Cause nothing works ‘round here
