Stay

This song is a sort of love song, but it is not about my wife. This is one of those songs that can, under the right analysis, spark a pretty involved conversation, so feel free to email me.

I came up with the opening guitar pattern, which repeats through the whole thing, while showing Burr a piece of recording hardware at his apartment. You never know what can happen when you're just "messing around on the guitar". The rest "just made sense" to my ears.

Stay

Put your hand in mine
Put your hand in mine
Stay here for a while
And we'll see the end of time

When you talk about the weather
And wear your secret smile
Please don't talk about forever
Just stay here a while

Put your hand in mine
Put your hand in mine
Stay here for a while
And we'll step outside of time

When you rise up in the morning
And start to make your day
Please don't think about tommorow
Just try to make your way

Put your arm in mine
Put your arm in mine
Stay here for a while
And we'll stare down Father Time

When you talk about forgiveness
And dream your sins away
Please don't talk about redemption
Unless you mean what you say

Put your hand in mine
Put your hand in mine
Stay here for a while
And we'll see the end of time
