I remember I was singing about September
When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar
And I'd been singing for the last six nights
And I could barely talk to tell you just how pretty you were
But you were as pretty as a preachers wife on Sunday
I was useless like a church bell on a Friday night
And I felt like a tragedy all dressed in dirty clothes
When you walked out before I could say
How when you stepped in
And the world stopped spinning
I gotta let you know
Just how I've become an artist
And how things fall apart
It's the only thing I know
Won't you just stay here
We can just stay here
We can just stay here
Won't you just stay here
Spent the whole next night on the telephone
We were both alone just waiting on a change
And I remember I felt as suave as a prom date
15 minutes late in a rented suit and his mothers car
The next night was a Monday and you came over to my house
We hardly talked about anything, but it never got quiet until we
Kissed our first of many and the clock hands took reprieve
From the round the clock labor of their day to day
'Cause when you steped in
And the world stopped spinning
I've gotta let you know
That I know it will I don't know when that time will matter again
But I don't want to let you go
Won't you just stay here
Won't you just stay here
We can just lay here
We can just lay here
I was thinking I'd swing by sometime around midnight
Turn my headlights off when I get near
And let's say you and me, we get the hell out of this town
'Cause we're the only thing that ever happened here
I've got 50 dollars and if we ride with the windows down
And I screen my smokes I think we'll make it into Georgia
And improvise from there
And everybody knows from here
That you can't go to hell without passing through Atlanta first
I'll find a dead end job and
I'll try to write a dead end song
Just thoughtless enough to make the radio
And we'll drink wine like water
As if we had a sorrow to drown
If that don't work it's alright, baby
We can just stay here
We can just stay here
'Cause when you stepped in
And the world stopped spinning
I gotta let you know
Just how I've become an artist
At how things fall apart
It's the only thing I know
Won't you just stay here
We can just stay here
We can just lay here
We can just lay here
We can just stay here
(Stay here)
We can just stay here oh
(Stay here)
We can get away dear oh
(Away dear)
We can just lay here
I remember I was singing about September
When you walked across the boardwalk to that smoky bar
