"Can I Stay" lyrics

"Can I Stay"

I'm no good at makin' small talk, but do you mind if I sit down?
Indiana was a long shot and I could use another round

I don't mean to be too bold, no it's not at all like me
But when you're makin' your way home, would you like some company?

'Cause oh-oh-oh I'm tired of sleepin' on my own
And oh-oh-oh I've such a long way to go
And you remind somebody I know
Can I stay with you a while?

Whiskey eyelids weigh me down some when a smoke-filled talk comes to a close
And it's these moments where my mind runs from the emptiness of open roads

And oh-oh-oh I'm tired of sleepin' on my own
Oh-oh-oh I've such a long way to go
And you remind somebody I know
Can I stay with you a while?

Come tomorrow I'll be gone again, so don't ask me for much
I'm no good at keepin' promises; I promise this is enough

And oh-oh-oh I'm tired of sleepin' on my own
Oh-oh-oh it's such a goddamn lonely road and I'm sleepin' alone
But you remind somebody I know
Can I stay with you a while?
'Cause you remind me of someplace I called home
Can I stay with you a while?
