Let Me Stay |
My brother’s old room used to be mine |
And all of our posters have changed over time |
Now all of our idols are on the tip of our tongues |
And we can’t recall what’s-his-name, over eggnog and rum |
And my brother’s old room used to be mine |
Now my mother’s old paintings can finally shine |
And fill all the spaces where celebrities posed |
I woke up this morning in a room that I know |
My brother’s old room used to be mine |
He painted it blue when I left it behind |
Now my mother’s old Alvarez leans up against white |
In the brand new guest room where I slept last night |
And let me stay, a little longer |
And let me rest, let me belong here |
I am a guest in every room I’ve ever known |
And if my brother’s old ceiling gets just enough sun |
The shapes of our made-up constellations |
Glow in a pattern that I knew by heart |
I woke up in the morning and picked up her guitar |
And on my mother’s old Alvarez, from '76 |
I wrote down this song as a bargaining chip |
To capture a moment from merciless time |
To stay in a room that I know, for a while |
And let me stay, a little longer |
Let me rest, let me belong here |
I am a guest in every room I’ve ever known |
My brother’s old room, this morning is mine |
And someday a stranger will wake to this light |
And this illumination is a passage of rite |
And the lineage of visitors grows a little in size |
Four walls and a window opposite the door |
I pack up my bag and I leave it once more |
Another holiday ends in a teary embrace |
Because even our bodies are places we stay |
Because even our bodies are places we stay |
And let me stay, a little longer |
Let me rest, let me belong here |
I am a guest in every room |
I’m just a guest, I’ll be going soon |
I am a guest in every room I’ve ever known |
