"Stay Here Awhile" lyrics

"Stay Here Awhile"

Looking out my window
On this easy afternoon
Just daydreaming
And humming on a tune
Letting my mind
Go where it wants to go
I'm not in a hurry
No reason to worry
Nothing I gotta know

I spent so long climbing the hill
But I only started moving when I got still
The pace these days suits my style
So I think I'll stay here awhile

Look at that ol' blue jay
Building up her nest
She don't take guff from nobody
Something's on her mind
You know she's gonna get it off her chest
Let me be that blue jay
Knowing I belong
And no matter what lies on the road up ahead
May I always have my song

All those years chasing a thrill
But I never could get my fill
These days, I can't help but smile
So I think I'll stay here awhile

It seems like forever
I was holding on so tight
Life was a struggle
Oh, and love, it was a fight
Won't somebody save me?
I cried and I cried
Turns out what I needed all along
It was right here inside

I worked so hard to get that lesson learned
I'd like to spend time with the peace I've earned
Sounds like my station on the dial
I think I'll stay here awhile
