lyrics

“Why Don’t You Stay?”
words and music by Shannon Curtis

Why don’t you stay just a little bit longer
Just a little bit closer, ‘til the end of the song
It’s not too late to get something started
Turn the record on over, the night’s plenty long

The clock on the table has stopped, freezing the frame we’re upon
Where now from here, the lines are unclear when I’m in your arms
Hear now the rumble of walls crumbling around my resolve
With logic defied, what might we find between now and dawn?

Why don’t you stay just a little bit longer
Just a little bit closer, ‘til the end of the song

Who knows what one kiss becomes, driven by hearts on the drum
Well, minds can divine what it implies when daylight comes

Why don’t you stay just a little bit longer
Just a little bit closer, ‘til the end of the song
It’s not too late to get something started
Turn the record on over, the night’s plenty long
