Jessica Harp - Stay lyrics

C&P 2001 Jessica Harp Unpublished Work All Rights Reserved What's keeping me, what's keeping me God tell me what is keeping me I thought I saw Resolution yesterday But he just smiled and walked away What's holding me, what's holding me Dear God, what is holding me I thought I knew what layed 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 on my doorstep tonight Don't mind what's wrong, just go and 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's changing 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
