Go or Stay

[Intro]
[Clean electric guitar arpeggios
Slow and steady
Swelling in]

[Verse 1]
Who’s to say that you go
When the coffee’s getting cold
Keys still sleeping by the door
Like they’re waiting for your hand
You trace circles in your coat
Eyes on anything but mine
Every sentence half-untold
Hanging heavy in the quiet

[Chorus]
Who’s to say that you go
Who’s to say that you go
Who’s to say that you stay
We’re a breath from “I don’t know”
And a mile from yesterday
If you need to let me go
Say it softer
Say it slow
’cause my heart is on that line
Who’s to say
If not you this time

[Verse 2]
You say “maybe” on repeat
Like it’s safer than a yes
Like the future’s on the seat
Between the crumbs and ticket stubs
I pretend I’m doing fine
Sip the laughter from your glass
But the questions in my spine
Keep on crawling up my back

[Chorus]
Who’s to say that you go
Who’s to say that you go
Who’s to say that you stay
We’re a breath from “I don’t know”
And a mile from yesterday
If you need to let me go
Say it softer
Say it slow
’cause my heart is on that line
Who’s to say
If not you this time

[Bridge]
Are we holding on
Or just holding out
Is this almost love
Or a drawn-out doubt (oh)
Tell me with your eyes
What your mouth won’t sound
I can take the fall
I just need it now

[Chorus]
Who’s to say that you go
Who’s to say that you stay
We’re a breath from “I don’t know”
And a mile from yesterday
If you need to let me go
Say it softer
Say it slow
’cause my heart is on that line
Who’s to say
If not you this time
