Staying Still Lyrics

[00:18.69] We drank and I convinced you
[00:20.29] That the wildfire smog was the Northern Lights
[00:24.85] Lately I've been looking at you harder
[00:27.44] Just taking you in
[00:30.21] At the callous on your fingers
[00:31.73] From the handbrake grips on your junkyard bike
[00:36.16] And your boots so filled with water
[00:38.65] I mean, soaking wet
[00:41.75] But you could punch me in the gut
[00:44.60] And it wouldn't hurt like watching
[00:47.36] You go smaller on the backroad
[00:53.50] And I never ask for much
[00:56.29] But I hope that Logan crumbles
[00:58.86] And gets hit by a tornado
[01:04.88] Oh I, can't keep on starting over
[01:10.47] Sleeping in a bed half empty
[01:13.42] Daydreamin'
[01:16.22] All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will
[01:22.17] Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin' still?
[01:30.66] Are you good at stayin' still?
[01:33.34] Oh, well will you up and leave?
[01:35.66] Or will you be there in the morning
[01:40.83]
[01:48.51] I always hated the sunlight at 3 pm
[01:54.06] Where it's too soon to quit thinking
[01:56.98] But too late to change anything
[02:00.16] I'm racking my brain for the one line
[02:02.85] That would change your mind
[02:06.03] Showing you plane crashes online
[02:08.84] Could it hurt to try?
[02:11.50] But the Charles meets the sun
[02:14.38] And the Harvard track team runs
[02:17.15] Past my truck, stuck on Storrow
[02:23.09] And I never ask for much
[02:25.84] But I hope that Logan crumbles
[02:28.58] And gets hit by a tornado
[02:34.21] 'Cause I can't keep on starting over
[02:40.06] Sleeping in a bed half empty
[02:42.96] Daydreamin'
[02:45.76] All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will
[02:51.62] Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin' still?
[02:57.55] Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin' still?
[03:06.13] Are you good at stayin' still?
[03:11.11]
[03:14.72] Put in love, put in hours, put in ceremony
[03:20.54] As it was, how you were
[03:23.40] What was there before me
[03:26.20] Nevermind, nevermind, oh forget about it
[03:32.21] I'll be good, I'll be fine, I can laugh about it
[03:38.02] I try, to keep, on starting over
[03:43.73] Sleeping in a bed half empty
[03:46.79] Daydreamin'
[03:49.48] All love, must leave, oh but search for it I will
[03:55.37] Honey, tell me, are you good at stayin' still
[04:03.95] Are you good at stayin' still?
[04:09.70] Are you good at stayin' still?
[04:12.43] Oh, well will you up and leave?
[04:14.94] Or will you be there in the morning
[04:19.34]
