stay down

Dawes

Micheladas in the afternoon
Lie on the couch in a rented room
Watching Jeopardy without the sound
It s easy to stay down

Quick mistakes and long goodbyes
Horrible truths and necessary lies
I caught a train that was backwards-bound
It s easy to stay down

Stay down
Til your mind has been cleared
And your trail can t be found
Stay down
With your eye to the sky
And your ear to the ground

Down by the pool with all my brand-new friends
Rewriting letters that I ll never send
Declining invitations into town
It s easy to stay down

Slowly admit that you have had your fun
The girl you loved and every word you sung
All the profane that you thought profound
It s time now to stay down

Stay down
Til the smoke has been cleared
And your name can t be found
Stay down
With your head in the clouds
And your eyes to the ground

Feel the sting of the final blow
What could ve been, you don t care or know
Don t try to go another round
Stay down
