Despite the initial vibe one might get from the song, it is not about someone who was abused as a child, per se. Singer/songwriter Brian Aubert explains:
“Before we were writing the album, I was getting into a lot of conversations about how people grew up. You’re at the bar and you exchange childho...
[Verse 1]
Drowned you out
And left you with the sounds
Of spoiled goodnights
Replacing lullabies
How could they never notice
What they planted in your spades?
See you laughing in a picture
But I know what's out of frame
[Verse 2]
You barely cried
But you made it out alive
And I'm so proud
That you're in my hands now
If we grew up together
You would find it's not the same
I wanna jump inside that picture
And show you a new game
[Chorus]
If you can stay here long enough
We can play with Bloody Mary
Say her name into the dark
Activate our nerve endings
If we can stay here long enough
We can play with Bloody Mary
She can chase us through the dark
Activate our nerve endings
[Post-Chorus]
We'll stay
We'll stay
We'll stay
We'll stay
We'll stay
We'll stay
We'll stay
We'll stay
[Verse 3]
I'll never let them get closer
Or shower you with any blame
Now we dance in our own picture
Where the rules have changed
[Chorus]
If you can stay here long enough
We can play with Bloody Mary
Say her name into the dark
Activate our nerve endings
If we can stay here long enough
We can play with Bloody Mary
She can chase us through the dark
Activate our nerve endings
[Post-Chorus]
We'll stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
