El Matador Lyrics
From the last young day of my life
Malibu tides inhale
Santa Ana Winds from behind
No more chances this year
I busied myself all summer
My day for swimming is here
Yes it's time
All those dreams and visions of mine
Washed up like a vacation
Lost as I wasted my time
I see smiles on the faces of friends
But time keeps pushing me on now
And I'll ride this wave till the end
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
And the last of the summertime sun
Driving off the end of a decade
So many things to be done
Windchimes blow in the dark
Lying on the couch defenseless
With blue clouds court and spark
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile

i don't know why, but this song reminds me of growing up, when i hear it i always think about when i stopped seeing my friends as much, i mean i had an amazin summer with them, and then it ended :( this song reminds me so much of all of them :)

this is one of the greatest songs. and i too lorna am reminded of summer growing up and basically thats what i interpreted this song to be about. its about growin up, having to leave behind the people you've always known and everyone has their day when they must move on in life. quite nostalgic and sad

what a great song. and i too, lorna get minded of growing up and that's what this song is pretty much about. growing up, having to leave the friends you've always known. quite sad and nostalgic. BEAUTIFUL SONG!
