If I Could Stay

[Intro]
If I could stay just for a minute more
Then I could say all the things I've been saving up for
Never enough time in the day
And moments like this come a moment too late

[Chorus]
And there's so many things that I don't understand
And I'm standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation, something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time's slippin' away and we don't hardly speak
And I'm feeling so lost deep in my soul

[Verse]
And if I could spend some of the time I'm saving
I can imagine your face the minute you see me comin' home
It's only a dream 'cause you're far away
And time spent on dreams could be time saved

[Chorus]
And there's so many things that I don't understand
And I'm standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation, something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time's slippin' away and we don't hardly speak
And I'm feeling so lost deep in my soul

[Bridge]
Listen closely, tell me everything's alright
I'm putting all of my trust in you, so please don't let me fall too far tonight

[Chorus]
When there's so many things that I don't understand
And I'm standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation, something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time's slippin' away and we don't hardly speak
And I'm feeling so lost deep in my soul

[Outro]
And If I could look, then I could find
Some of the simple sweet words that are so hard to speak sometimes
