Lyrics to song Stay by Charlie Ranucci
Words and music—Charlie Ranucci
It's like catching rain in a paper cup
The time you spend never adds up
To anything you thought that it would be
And if I had to do it all again
I think perhaps I'd stay a friend
And all of this would seem just like a dream
Guess my arms weren't opened wide enough
To carry all the blame and stuff
On and on you spoke to me that way
Tell me is there something I can do
To make the gray return to blue
Why did you have to paint this cloudy day
And I can't believe that you're leaving me
No I can't believe it's true
So I wrote a note to send to you
I'm hoping that you read it along the way
I hope maybe you'll STAY
It was late Saturday afternoon
When all the trouble seemed to bloom
I knew that things may never be the same
And as you grabbed your coat so desperately
An ominous reality swept through my veins
Rendered me insane
Guess my eyes weren't opened wide enough
You played your hand with such a bluff
Spun me in a most peculiar way
Call the Coast Guard on the radio
The perfect storms about to blow
I will need a drink or two to ease the pain
Repeat Chorus
You were only seventeen
They crowned you Queen
I was your King
We said forever
Now you're taking me to school
Throwing all the golden rules away
Its like catching rain in paper cup
The time we spent did not add up
To anything I thought that it should be
And I can't imagine where you would go
Is there some fellow that you know
The one who left the roses with no name
Still I can't believe that you're leaving me
No I can't believe it's true
So I wrote a note to send to you
I'm hoping that you read it along the way
Yes I'm hoping that you read it along your way
Hey Jess I hope you STAY
