"Man Who Stays" lyrics

"Man Who Stays"

Remember the day we found each other
Saw your face and forgot every other
First of May, first time I heard your name

We were kids spending all day dreaming
You and I never thought about leaving
I was the king, you were the queen
Never slowed down

'Til I watched you slip away
Tell me, tell me, just why
Why did your heart change?

What are you chasing?
Why are you changing?
What do you think you'll find?
Packing up your suitcase, tearing out the driveway
You can go, you can take your time
Lights will shine, but I won't fade
I'll be here waiting
If you come back this way
'Cause I'm the man who stays
I'm the man who stays

You told me there's got to be more
So why are we stuck in this same town for?
Don't you know all you need is right here?

'Til I watched you slip away
Tell me, tell me, just why
Why did your heart change?

What are you chasing?
Why are you changing?
What do you think you'll find?
Packing up your suitcase, tearing out the driveway
You can go, you can take your time
Lights will shine, but I won't fade
I'll be here waiting
If you come back this way
'Cause I'm the man who stays
I'm the man who stays

If you find you're looking back
And missing what we use to have
You should, you should know I haven't changed

I'm the man who stays
I'm the man who stays

What are you chasing?
Why are you changing?
What do you think you'll find?
Packing up your suitcase, tearing out the driveway
You can go, you can take your time
Lights will shine, but I won't fade
I'll be here waiting
If you come back this way
'Cause I'm the man who stays
I'm the man who stays
