Jessica Harper - Stay lyrics

What's keeping me, what's keeping me

God tell me what is keeping me

I thought I saw Resolution yesterday

But he just smiled and waved

What's holding me, what's holding me

Dear God, what is holding me

I thought I knew what laid in store

I didn't count on locked up doors

And all I know is something happened

The wind changed directions

The lovers cried and the birds flew away

Why did I stay, why did I stay

What tied me up, what tied me up

Like chewing gum my feet got stuck

I'm sitting in this rusty room

All prepared to face my doom

You laughed at me, you laughed at me

Said that kind of life don't come for free

I smiled, said no, and not much does

But why are my feet still stuck

Again signs all pointed to

Following my simple truth

The lovers cried and more birds flew away

Why did I stay, why did I stay

I can't be a walking restriction anymore

I can't deny what fate's got in store

Why do I stay, why do I stay

Please tell me I don't have to stay

Friend told me I'll lend you some change

Go find out who's calling your name

Leave your goodbyes with me tonight

Don't mind what's wrong just go set it right

Last boarding call to LA

Take your tickets here, right this way

Don't care if I become a star

I just wanna play my guitar

Something's happening

The wind changed directions

The lovers smiled and the last birds flew away

I didn't stay, I didn't stay

I flew away

I flew away

Don't stay

Fly away
