Would You Stay Now? Lyrics

And even after it all, I make it through every day
And your familiar face is now lost in the fray
And if I called you to see what's going on
Would you even answer or have you moved on?

So what's it like on the other side?
Would you stay now?
From bar to bar just to get by
Would you stay now?
And if I asked you, would you come along?
Would you stay now?
'Cause without you it's not the same song

So many years put on the line
So many tears I've spilt like cheap wine
Now my radio plays a different song
About two old friends, what went wrong?

So what's it like on the other side?
Would you stay now?
From bar to bar just to get by
Would you stay now?
And if I asked you, would you come along?
Would you stay now?
'Cause without you it's not the same song

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.

My best guess would be Elvis wrote this about their ex bass player Ruben. Once Ruben was out of the band, they just haven't had that same sound that Los Angeles got from Elvis, Ruben and Ramiro.
