Stay
Matthew MacDonald
Missing months of time
Following behind
Planning day and night
For where we would fly
Slow to settle in
Fixed in position
Windows in our minds
Dare to draw their blinds
In one moment's time
Into conscious light
I can see what's mine
I forfeit the fight
So what is today
If we're not awake?
And how can we save
The moments at stake?
If I keep moving
I'm gonna break
So what are we losing
By choosing to stay?
We moved far too fast
What we were is past
Vision clouds inside
In blind spots you hide
In one moment's time
In your tearful eyes
I can see what's mine
I forfeit the fight
So what is today
If I'm not awake?
And how can I save
The moments at stake?
If I keep moving
We're gonna break
So what am I losing
By choosing to stay?
Why don't we stay?
