There I was, it happened fast
I was tired, out of gas
Talk about, taking breaks
Life's too short to play it safe

And in every way, you know I just want you to stay
Beats something else, you know I never worry about myself
And in every way, I know that you still want to stay
And that's got to be the way it is

For awhile (for awhile)
I was stuck (I was stuck)
I'll admit I was short on luck
You were bright, like a new day
All my troubles, went away

And in every way you know I just want you to stay
Beats something else, you know I never worry about myself
And in every way, I know you still want to stay
And that's got to be the way it is

I am your love
There is no other voice
I want to hear but yours
Whispering vocal chords

In a dream that I had
I was cruel, I was truly mad
I woke up filled with fear
I went away, 'cause you were near

But in every way you know I just want you to say
Beats something else, you know I never think about myself
And in every way, I know that you still want to stay
And that's got to be, because I never even think of making it
In every way, you know I just want you to stay
And that's got to be the way it is.
