| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here
|
| You think performing would be fine right
|
| Scares the shit out of me
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here
|
| 'Kay, check it out
|
| The hands of time tick away
|
| As I sit there waiting to go
|
| Standing by, anticipatin'
|
| 'Cause it’s the day of a show
|
| Yeah, and there’s that buzz in the air
|
| But amidst the excitement, inside I’m
|
| Tryna control my stress
|
| And I sit backstage and hold my breath
|
| Up in my mind, up in my mind
|
| I think I’m already heading home
|
| And I’ve been tryin', and I’ve been tryin'
|
| But I just can’t seem to let it go
|
| Yeah, I’m so nervous right now
|
| Heart racing as they turn the lights down
|
| It’s like I feel insane
|
| Because I can hear my name, and
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here
|
| I wish I could (that's right)
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here
|
| Okay, yeah
|
| But you know that it’s just a phase
|
| And so that notion begins to fade
|
| An' drift away the
|
| Moment I hit the stage and hear
|
| As a roar erupts from the crowd |
| And I just fall in love with that sound
|
| Now I’m gone, up in the clouds
|
| And I’m not sure when I’m coming back down
|
| Then all my
|
| Fears disappear
|
| This stage is all mine
|
| It’s like I’m in a dream
|
| And when their energy’s up
|
| I swear it is such an adrenaline rush (yeah)
|
| This buzz is better than anything
|
| That I could get from a drug
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here
|
| I wish I could (uh-huh)
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here (yeah)
|
| Can somebody hear me?
|
| Can somebody hear me?
|
| Can somebody here me now?
|
| Oh—oh—oh—oh
|
| Can somebody hear me?
|
| Can somebody hear me?
|
| Can somebody here me now?
|
| Oh—oh—oh—oh
|
| Yeah, uh, uh
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here
|
| I wish I could (that's right)
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here (yeah)
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here (uh-huh)
|
| I wish I could (whoo)
|
| I wish I could stay
|
| I wish I could stay right here |
