We search for words that keep us near

But "stop with me" is all I hear

A nonsense phrase upon the tongue

A broken song that we had sung

So change the letters, turn the key

And shift the focus, "us" from "me"

Two simple characters align

To make your staying mine and mine

Stay with us, don't walk away

The words we choose are here to stay

From near to far, from stop to go

This is the only truth we know

Stay with us, the night is long

And we are right where we belong
