You are the stranger
That fascinates my curiosity
Your waves of wonder
Have reached the sanded shore of me
Underneath the noisy silence
In between the shallow words
You find the heart of my confusion
Light the corners of my world
Oh, I need you to stay
To unwind my twisted way
Of living in the shade of gray
Thinking everything's okay
Yes, I need you to stay
Cause you're the only one who sees through my cliché
Every minute of the day
I need you to stay
Your voice is quiet
But whispers through the loudness of a lie
When my life runs riot
You save me from my stupid pride
Let's go walking down the highway
And let everybody know
That in spite of the pollution
You are breathing in my soul
Oh, I need you to stay
To unwind my twisted way
Of living in the shade of gray
Thinking everything's okay
Yes, I need you to stay
Cause you're the only one who sees through my cliché
Every minute of the day
I need you to stay
I know without you I can't do anything
I expect the unexpected when you get under my skin
Then it begins
Every single thing look different
Through the colors of your love
And I know how much I need you
Cause too much is not enough
Oh, I need you to stay
Cause I'm living in the shade of gray
Thinking everything's okay
But you're the only one who sees through my cliché
Every minute of the day
I need you to stay
Every minute of the day
I need you
