Lyrics

The first thing next morning, I’m coming up for you
Yeah, the first thing next morning, I’m up coming for you
I got no intentions, just an ache, and my beer
That I’m nursing through the night wishing you were near.

and all the renegades
and the soul survivors
would make no difference in play
if only you had stayed.

I’m gonna wrap my wishes, in a tin foil hat
Yeah I’m gonna wrap my wishes in a tin foil hat
No one’s gonna to see them, no one’s gonna know to even ask
then when you show me yours I can take off this mask

and all the accolades
and the celebrations
would make no difference today
if only you had stayed

I’ve got a secret just for you
I’ve got just one secret and it's just for you
When you closed your eyes, I was always there
a trace from your past, a louse in your hair

and oh the cavalcades
and the royal cortège
would not mark this lonely day
if only you had stayed
