Cover art for Stay lyrics by Poets Of The Fall

This song speaks of the composers need (as opposed to want) for that 'special someone' in his life who has either recently departed or is contemplating doing so. "Stay, I need you here for a new day to break. Stay, I want you near, like a shadow in my wake."

The line "It's the little things, little things, little things, that make the world" is especially poignant, especially as it pertains to relationships.
