Alkaline Trio - Stay Lyrics






Things have been getting pretty rough around here
No coffee cups flying 'round the room
Just daggers born from tears
Let's try to crawl out from under our breath
We can never break up, so I'll love you to death
The man I'd become was so comfortably dumb
I believe you could mean it, but you're not having fun
And I'm sorry

I learned to breathe I guess some time ago
But just recently I learned what it means to take it slow
I'm lousy with excuses and you know I love to swear
So goddammit, I swear to whatever's out there
That I love you more now than I ever have, so

Let's pick another day to call it quits and walk away
Let's find some other time to break down
The storm has gone and blown on through
Shake off the darkness and I will too
You might leave me still, but not today
For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?

You would think by now that I'd be fine
Ya' know, like really stretching out
But it would all be lies
I'm no longer in control of my own shoes
There they go
Quickly running out of booze
Drinking to kill myself to live without you
Over there, where I still stare
Sometimes

Let's pick another day to call it quits and walk away
Let's find some other time to break down
The storm has gone and blown on through
Shake off the darkness and I will too
You might leave me still, but not today
For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?

For now, can we just stay?
Can we just stay?

For now, can we just stay?

    Dan Andriano ❤❤

  2. J.... S....

    This feels like a Party Adjacent song, just played by Alkaline Trio...very good!

  3. J.... M....

    Name all the references to old songs.

    Fine
    goddamnit

    J.... M....

    If you had a bad time "you're not having fun"

    I like people commenting how Andriano killed in _this song_ or _this album_; please; Andriano is amazing in everything he has done, he's the Mr. Brett of love and depression and dark song writing, with a lovely voice and singing style; he's close to be a divine being.

  6. A.... O....

    Love this song. Another gem by Dan! 🤘

  7. D.... A....

    That first verse tho! Then the drums kick you in the gut with all the feels. I love it!

  8. k.... ....

    And this one is soo good too.. It is impossible for me to choose which one is the best..?

  9. C.... M....

    Oh, how the woman i love most would stumble upon these lyrics. Then, would she understand how much i care for her even with given our dynamic and history. Josie, if you stumble upon this just know i never stopped loving you, and i hope life has brought you the utmost happiness. You're always gonna own a part of me which strictly belongs to you. I hope there is a part that strictly belongs to m but i understand if not as reach out to the cosmos. Just remember of you ever stumble upon this that i love you always and i understood.

    C.... M....

    This woman one way or another will always be part of me,no matter where i am she will always have a home,and live in me. Life isn't fair as we all know but sometimes we get this privilege to have a love that breaks barriers even if not together.

  10. i.... w....

    simple band with simple song but so deep

  11. M.... L....

    This is just perfection

  12. l.... b....

    They always make nice n awsome lyrics !! Damn thoose words !!

  13. T.... ....

    This has grown on me so much, started off as one of my least favourites but easily my top 3 now. The way he sings it is so meaningful.

  14. W.... G....

    Great song, I love the never break up referance. 1 band that I always enjoy....even the more corny efforts. A3 has a permanent place in my heart.

  15. J.... P....

    totally reminds me of a MCS chord progression at 1:37

  16. M.... S....

    Favorite on the album. Dan really killed this one.

  17. M.... ....

    Besides the Title Track, my fav.

  18. T.... R....

    curse these feels.

  19. H.... J....

    All the feels. God, I've missed them!

  20. L.... L....

    Feel free to correct these lyrics
    Things have been getting pretty rough around here
    No coffee cups flying ‘round the room, just daggers born from tears
    Let’s try to crawl out from under our breath
    We can never break up, so I’ll love you to death
    The man I’d become was so comfortably dumb
    I believe you could mean it, but you’re not having fun
    And I’m sorry

    I learned to breathe, I guess, some time ago
    But just recently I learned what it means to take it slow
    I’m lousy with excuses, and you know I love to swear
    So goddamnit, I swear to whatever’s out there
    That I love you more now than I ever have

    So let’s pick another day to call it quits and walk away
    Let’s find some other time to break down
    The storm has gone and blown on through
    Shake off the darkness and I will too
    You might leave me still, but not today
    For now, can we just stay

    You’d think by now that I’d be fine
    You know, like really stretching out
    But it would all be lies
    I’m no longer in control of my own shoes
    There they go
    Quickly running out of booze
    Drinking to kill myself to live without you over there
    Where I still stare sometimes

    So let’s pick another day to call it quits and walk away
    Let’s find some other time to break down
    The storm has gone and blown on through
    Shake off the darkness and I will too
    You might leave me still, but not today
    For now, can we just stay

    Little Lord Fauntleroy I hear, “daggers bowed from tears”

  21. M.... I....

    I knew this song was gonna be awesome. And this is why Alk3 has been my favorite band for 20 years, they still write lyrics that apply to my life now.

  22. J.... P....

    Seriously.... Need a AT3 emoji 💀🖤

  23. S.... P....

    It’s hard to pick but I’d say Dans songs are better written and have always had a deeper soulful meaning.... Matt’s are catchier. The amazing music these guys have made on and off for the last 21 years has really effected my life. We’re all very fortunate to have them around.

    S.... P....

    I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be around if not for Trio. I'm definitely fortunate and forever grateful

    S.... P....

    Its because Dan hangs around with Brian Fallon and Skiba hangs around with Mark Hoppus

    S.... P....

    They have made the last 19 years of my life more bearable.

    S.... P....

    Can we stop all this "Dan's songs are better than Matt's" bull crap

  24. M.... ....

    Has anyone else noticed how the different song titles are written on the telephone? It's awesome. And the album? Well, just phenomenal.

    M.... ....

    Steven with a 'ph'! (google the meme!) Sorry dude... just a kind word that it's spelt 'phenomenal'. I'd hate you to be picked up on that shit by a non-alk3 fan who wanted to rip you about it. Glad you enjoy the album :) Peace!

    M.... ....

    Hey man, thanks. Appreciate you looking out for a fellow music enthusiast!

    Lmao the meme 😂😂

    M.... ....

    No worries dude, keep on with the good music! :) \m/

  25. �.... �....

    Good album)))

  26. m.... ....

    Holy Dan song. That opening verse.

  27. C.... K....

    How come this doesn't have more views? Kids these days I swear have no taste

    C.... K....

    Anti-Antifa there are some good rap artists in all fairness, but the modern ones are terrible.

    C.... K....

    It doesn't have more views because it literally came out today.

    C.... K....

    to be fair im p young and im gettin kids to listen to em. Im just doing my job man

    C.... K....

    It just got uploaded dumb fuck
