Lyrics

Black carpets stains and cracked window panes
And dirty linoleum floors
The uneven feeling off the old popcorn ceiling
Turned yellow by the tenants before

Our neighbors with paper thin walls
We hear their TV’s and telephone calls

Won’t you stay a little longer
Won’t you lay right next to me

I know we want more than a dead-bolted door
And some drawers to store our possessions
Did we put our faith into the wrong place
And exchange our love for obsession?

Slide open those broken blinds
And when the light comes in let it shine

Won’t you stay a little longer
Won’t you lay right next to me
Let our love grow a little stronger
Let the roots grow deep

This wasn’t the dream, just making ends meet
and we haven’t made it too far
We’ll never be where we want to be
‘Til we wanna be where we are

Won’t you stay a little longer
Won’t you lay right next to me
Let our love grow a little stronger
Let the roots grow deep
