Stay

Darling, we might not ever look like those families
In the stock picture frames or on old time TV
There ain’t no white fence around this life we have
We’re two runaways on a one-way ticket track

And if I’m not the man you bargained for
And the bright red love you bought me for is gone
Will you lie here under star drowned skies
And look me in the eyes when I say
These are our hard times
Say you’ll stay

I see the scars you keep underneath your skin
Drawn in like a map of all the places your heart’s been
The man I am ain’t nothing but holes in a tattered soul
Threads of grace, hemmed with faith
They’re strongest stitches sewn

And if I’m not the man you bargained for
And the bright red love you bought me for is gone
Will you lie here under star drowned skies
And look me in the eyes when I say
These are our hard times
Say you’ll stay

And if I’m not the man you bargained for
And the bright red love you bought me for is gone
Will you lie here under star drowned skies
And look me in the eyes when I say
These are our hard times
Say you’ll stay
