Terra Naomi - If I could stay

If I could stay
Just for a minute more
Then I could say all the things
I been saving up for
Never enough time in the day
And moments like this come a moment too late

And there’re so many things that I don’t understand
And I’m standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation
Something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time’s slipping away and we don’t hardly speak
And I’m feeling so lost deep in my soul

And if I could spend
Some of that time I’m saving
I can imagine your face
The minute you see me coming home
It’s only a dream
Cos you’re far away
And time spent on dreams
Could be time saved

And there’re so many things that I don’t understand
And I’m standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation
Something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time’s slipping away and we don’t hardly speak
And I’m feeling so lost deep in my soul

Listen closely tell me everything’s alright
I’m putting all of my trust in you
So please don’t let me fall too far tonight

If I could look
Then I could find
Some of the simple sweet words
That are so hard to speak sometimes
