Stay Lyrics

Stay
Close the door and stay
Tell the world to go away
And stay

Sleep
Shut your eyes and go to sleep
There's nothing here that won't keep
Sleep

Ask me if I understand
Wondering how I can
I do
Even when I don't

Sing
Sing the songs you used to sing
For the love of everything
Sing

Ask me if I understand
Wondering how I can
I do
Even when I don't

The time has come (Don't take your love)
For everyone (Don't take your love)
To stand before the day (Don't take your love)
(Don't take your love)
And see the sun (Don't take your love)
Before it slips away (Don't take your love)
(Don't take your love)
I called you up (Don't take your love)
And said all I could say (Don't take your love)
(Don't take your love)
Change your mind (Don't take your love)
And stay, stay, stay (Don't take your love)

Stay
Stay
For as long as you can stay
Life is hard, but it's okay
Stay
Stay

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
