I'm trying out words
Just to see how they sound
Ignoring the cynics, the sirens, the sinister eyes
And these walls 'cause they're all coming down
I'm standing in line so patiently waiting my turn
I fall flat on my face, this is all just a waste
Am I cautious or just insecure
Love it or hate it just please let me make it
I'm giving up all that I have
I'll share who I've been, who I could be and all that I am
I'll stay for the night
Or maybe forever
I'll stay till the muse
Runs dry through my veins
I'll stay for the love
Or the lovely obsession
I'll stay till the final note
Fades softly away
Fades softly away
I may be too late
There's no need to go on
I pray for the hit of the week as the media beats
At the heart of each beautiful song
The danger is real so I feel it must be worth a try
I'm apprehensive and I'm just pretending
That I'm not scared out of my mind
This is my life drawn in sketches that might say I won't play it safe anymore
I'm leaving the paint by numbers I followed before
I'll stay for the night
Or maybe forever
I'll stay till the muse
Runs dry through my veins
I'll stay for the love
Or the lovely obsession
I'll stay till the final note
Fades softly away
Fades softly away
And now I'll step up, step out and break this shell of mine
I'll settle in for as long as it takes
Till I'm feeble and old but I'm satisfied
I'll stay for the night
Or maybe forever
I'll stay till the muse
Runs dry through my veins
I'll stay for the love
Or the lovely obsession
I'll stay till the final note
Fades softly away
Fades softly away
I'll stay for the night
Or maybe forever
I'll stay till the muse
Runs dry through my veins
I'll stay for the love
Or the lovely obsession
I'll stay till the final note
Fades softly away
Fades softly away
I'll stay till I lose
Every ounce of expression
I'll stay till I find
Where I'm meant to be
I'll stay for the hope
In the lovely obsession
I'll stay till each final brilliant word
Writes its way out of me
Its way out of me
