[Verse 1]
His heart's in his chest, silent
Beat for me
I will do anything to be here with you
I have my regrets, private
Tucked in deep
That to follow the rules, I must resist you

[Pre-Chorus]
What's the point of this magic if we cannot use it?
I know the spell, I could say it now
So don't label me evil since I don't abuse it
With the verses dealt, he will make a sound

[Chorus]
I can't bring myself to carry your soul away
It's slippin' under me too fast
Baby, I want you to stay
I can't bring myself to carry your soul away
It's slippin' under me too fast
Baby, I want you to stay

[Post-Chorus]
I won't let you go at all
So please forgive my selfish call
It's much too much for me to bear
My incantations fill the air
[Chorus]
I can't bring myself to carry your soul away
It's slippin' under me too fast
Baby, I want you to stay
I can't bring myself to carry your soul away
It's slippin' under me too fast
Baby, I want you to stay

[Post-Chorus]
I want you to stay
I want you to stay
I want you to stay
I want you to stay

[Verse 2]
I know who I'd get
As a trade-in from police
'Cause the bad won't be missed
And I deserve you
But no one's a friend
To my kind
Except the sea
That divides us apart
As dead or breathing

[Pre-Chorus]
What's the point of this magic if we cannot use it?
Yeah, I know the spell, I could say it now
So don't label me evil since I don't abuse it
With the verses dealt, he will make a sound
[Chorus]
Yeah, I can't bring myself to carry your soul away
It's slippin' under me too fast
Baby, I want you to stay
I can't bring myself to carry your soul away
It's slipping' under me too fast
Baby, I want you to stay

[Outro]
I won't let you go at all
So please forgive my selfish call
It's much too much for me to bear
My incantations in the air
