Stay and fill me up with something else You're all that's left And I'll be picking up the pieces of our past Like broken glass Affection ruptures lonely nights But I've, always been the last in line For romance Captive among lonely hearts Are all we are Captive behind broken hearts Are all we are So lovely can I stay the night (Can I stay, can I stay) And baby if I said that I'll be back tomorrow This might be a bit shy from the truth (From the truth) As lonely as the days that we begin to follow Somehow we become those walls we build (Somehow) Somehow we lose the urge to feel (Somehow) I've become, I've become, I've become the lesser man We become products of ourselves Slave to despair Despair to aspire A real lovers love The profound beating of this chest A poetic type of touch That reminds us who we are The feeling, the rhyming rhythm Recalling wounded thoughts Still seeming a little tempted To set these sheets aflame as your eyes close So lovely can I stay the night (Can I stay, can I stay) And baby if I said that I'll be back tomorrow (Can I stay) This might be a bit shy from the truth (From the truth) As lonely as the days that we begin to follow He finds that (That) That it's worth more (More) As he's slipping out Of the back door He finds that (That) That it's worth more (More) As he's slipping out Of the back door So lovely can I stay the night (Can I stay, can I stay) And baby if I said that I'll be back tomorrow (Can I stay) This might be a bit shy from the truth (From the truth) As lonely as the days that we begin to follow So lovely can I stay the night (Can I stay, can I stay) And baby if I said that I'll be back tomorrow (Can I stay) This might be a bit shy from the truth (Can I stay) As lonely as the days that we begin to follow (Can I stay)
