heather maloney - let me stay lyrics

Loading...

my brother’s old room used to be mine
and all of our posters have changed over time
now all of our idols are on the tip of our tongues
and we can’t recall what’s-his-name, over eggnog and rum

and my brother’s old room used to be mine
now my mother’s old paintings can finally shine
and fill all the sp-ces where celebrities posed
i woke up this morning in a room that i know

my brother’s old room used to be mine
he painted it blue when i left it behind
now my mother’s old alvarez leans up against white
in the brand new guest room where i slept last night

and let me stay, a little longer
and let me rest, let me belong here
i am a guest in every room i’ve ever known

and if my brother’s old ceiling gets just enough sun
the shapes of our made-up constellations
glow in a pattern that i knew by heart
i woke up in the morning and picked up her guitar

and on my mother’s old alvarez, from ’76
i wrote down this song as a bargaining chip
to capture a moment from merciless time
to stay in a room that i know, for a while

and let me stay, a little longer
let me rest, let me belong here
i am a guest in every room i’ve ever known

my brother’s old room, this morning is mine
and someday a stranger will wake to this light
and this illumination is a p-ssage of rite
and the lineage of visitors grows a little in size

four walls and a window opposite the door
i pack up my bag and i leave it once more
another holiday ends in a teary embrace
because even our bodies are places we stay
because even our bodies are places we stay

and let me stay, a little longer
let me rest, let me belong here
i am a guest in every room
i’m just a guest, i’ll be going soon
i am a guest in every room i’ve ever known
