I Can't Stay

Ze's the only one who could align the stars by force
I can't afford this lifestyle, and I can't afford remorse
I can't afford to fill my tank and drive away,
Oh, but I can't stay
Your love just might as well be a gottdang unicorn
The unattainable is the charm of Capricorn
In the morning there'll be bills and hell to pay
Oh, but I can't stay
Someday you’ll love recklessly, someday you’ll follow through,
and something will be true
Someday you’ll love recklessly, and you’ll know what to do
Somehow you won’t be blue,
Somehow we won’t be
The ocean in your mouth is spittin’ gaps in continents
For every mile I run, another two present
The desert of your absence sprawls before me
Oh, but I can’t stay
You’re shrinkin' in the distance, but the fire just won’t go out
And every move I make only fills me with more doubt
The inferno that you set may never go away
Oh, but I can’t stay
Someday I’ll love recklessly, someday I’ll follow through,
and something will be true
Someday I’ll love recklessly, and I’ll know what to do
Somehow I won’t be blue
Somehow we won’t be blue

[Vigilance]
I ain’t got a nice car but it drives 55
I’m on my way to your house from that gottdang 9 to 5
But I get paid this Friday
And I know that we jive
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
[Lo]
You pull up in your nice car from that got dang 9 to 5
You brought your homemade cider, I just killed me a bottle of wine
You tell me you done lost your job
I say that’s just fine
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
[Vigilance + Lo]
We ain’t got no money, Lord knows how we get by
But we work three jobs tween us and the rent gets paid on time
Your mama says I ain’t been true and you know it’s a lie
We’re alive, we’re alive, we’re alive
[sunn sett]
You pull up in your nice car from your gottdang 9 to 5
We’re sippin’ cider sweetly, makin’ eyes, and you look surprised,
We shout [with Lo] “this ain’t what it looks like!
We saved you some 'shine!”
We're alive, we're alive, we're alive
[sunn sett + Lo]
We can’t go out drinkin’, but the backyard does just fine
Next door they count our vis'ters, but we don’t pay them no mind
Our mamas say you ain’t been true, and we know it’s a lie
We’re alive, we’re alive, we’re alive
[Altogether]
Livin’ in the country, ya don’t need much to get by
[Lo] I got my babys’ nice cars, [Sunset + Vigilance] and I got four eyes that shine
They wonder who’s been cheatin’ who, how could we be so blind?
We’re alive, we’re alive, we’re alive
We’re alive, we’re alive, we’re alive
We’re alive, we’re alive, we’re alive
