Lyrics of the Day - Maximo Park ‘I Want you to Stay’

October 19th, 2008

This song’s so stuck in my head. I don’t know why. To my conscious mind it’s not even that relevant to me. But it’s living in my brain, and is thus the song of the day.

Maximo Park ‘I Want you to Stay’

I rewrite my life beneath the moonlight,
Please hold me now till my breath runs out,
There are many things that I am not,
But there’s one thing that I cant deny

A double bluff you fed me lines,
The shortest cut you’re searching for,
A mesh of tones surround your eyes,
I wish I knew how it came to this

I always said you could rely on me,
Now it seems that I was wrong,
I want you to stay,
I want you to stay with me

Cos nothing works round here,
Where cranes collect the sky,
I long for the neon signs of night,
Cos nothing works round here,

You know the way I feel,
Can you remember what we had?

Why do you think I over take?
I speak to you and you say no,
A camera runs just to collect,
I wish I knew how it came to this

The lies we tell are bound on film,
And you start to push your lips to mine,
Outside my room you closed your eyes,
And in the end it came to this

I always said you could rely on me,
Now it seems that I was wrong,
I want you to stay,
I want you to stay with me

Cos nothing works round here,
Where cranes collect the sky,
I think of your face at night,
Cos nothing works round here

You know the way I feel
Can you remember what we had?
As time gets more compressed,
You’re always my reminder,
A lifetime disappears,
Can you remember what we had?
As time gets more compressed,
You’re always my reminder,
You’re always my reminder

You know the way I feel,
You know the way I feel

    • I don't live on the moon
      Drink martinis in the afternoon
      I don't pretend to make
      The world feel better
      I don't live on the moon
      No I, I don't live on the moon

    • I need no shelter
      I need no guide
      I'll be alone
      on this
      long dark ride

    • It just ain't fair this
      thing called loving
      When one's still there
      and the other feels nothing
      I would have done anything for you
      I still love you, baby I adore you
