[Verse 1]
Sun's goin' down, we're driving around
Losing track of time before you're out
Wish I could freeze this beautiful scene
But it just melts
Lost in a sea, your eyes golden green
Staring as you fingers leave my hands
Wanted to follow wherever you go
I just can't right now, but

[Pre-Chorus]
You're always on my mind
But it's fine, I'm not crying
I hate saying goodbye
I've been lying, I'm not fine

[Chorus]
I just wanted you to stay
When you're not so close to me
Feels like I forget how to breathe
Too many times I've played it cool
While I watch you leavе
I just wanted you to stay
When you're not so closе to me
It plays like a sad song on repeat
And too many times I've played the fool
'Cause I watch you leave
[Verse 2]
Sun's goin' down, haven't made a sound
Tongue caught on the words trapped in my mouth
Wish I could say what I need to say, darling
I just can't right now, but

[Pre-Chorus]
You're always on my mind
But it's fine, I'm not crying
I hate saying goodbye
I've been lying, I'm not fine

[Bridge]
I just wanted you to stay

[Chorus]
I just wanted you to stay
When you're not so close to me
Feels like I forget how to breathe
Too many times I've played it cool
While I watch you leave
I just wanted you to stay
When you're not so close to me
It plays like a sad song on repeat
And too many times I've played the fool
'Cause I watch you leave
[Outro]
I just wanted you to stay
