Stay

I'm one step from empty,
And two steps from loserville,
I'm five steps from falling,
And losing all will.

You're seeking me out,
And screaming my name,
I wish that you wouldn't,
The sound drives me insane.

He's thinking about jumping,
We're trying to save,
The boy and his lost charms,
This system's so grave.

She's drinking until she can't remember,
His face and his eyes,
The way the stagnant memory lingers,
As pretty as when a butterfly dies.

We're standing together,
And clutching at straws,
Wishing it could just be,
Like it was before.

I miss you here,
I miss your smile,
You are he, I am she,
We can stay here for a while.
