      Stay at Your House by Aya Down Lyrics

      [Verse]

      I couldn't wait for you to come and clear the cupboards
      But now you're gonna leave with nothin' but a sign
      Another evening I'll be sittin' readin' in-between your lines
      Because I miss you all the time

      [Verse 2]

      So
      Get away
      Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know
      And let yourself go
      You know you didn't lose your self-control
      Let it start at the rainbow
      Turn away
      Another way to be where you didn't want yourself to go
      And let yourself go
      Is that a compromise? So
      What do you wanna do?
      What's your point of view? There's a party soon
      Do you wanna go?
      A handshake with you
      What's your point of view?
      I'm on top of you
      I don't wanna go

      [Chorus]
      'Cause I really wanna stay at your house
      And I hopе this all works out
      But you know how much you broke me apart
      I'm done with you
      I'm ignoring you
      I don't wanna know

      [Verse 3]

      But I'm not sure now
      And I'm not sure if you find a life better somewhere else
      But I hope that this way it is better

      [Bridge]

      You said you weren't coming back
      And every time I tried to just think on No Beat and think otherwise
      You said
      You said while we were cleaning out No Beat
      He said
      "I don't want you to say that stuff
      We shouldn't give up"
      He said
      He said
      He said
      So
      Get away
      Another way to feel what you didn't want yourself to know
      And let yourself go
      You know you didn't lose your self-control
      Let's start with the rainbow
      Turn away
      Another way to be where you didn't want yourself to go
      And let yourself go
      Is that a? All the time

      [Chorus]

      'Cause I really wanna stay at your house
      And I hope this all works out
      But you know how much you broke me apart
      I'm done with you
      I'm ignoring you
      I don't wanna know
