I was processing a break up at the time, and the original lyrics featured her name, which I changed to Madeline a week or two into polishing up the song. Madeline sings really well and is also kinda old-timey, which I like. There’s hope bouncing around the melancholy in this track, which seems to be...
(Verse)
Madeline
I know by heart all your lonely reasons why
Madeline
You're sold this rush, when all we have is time
(Chorus)
So why don't you stay here with me
Whatever tomorrow shows you
Lies aren't always a sign you should leave
Whatever tomorrow shows you
Now and always
(Verse)
Madeline
You say so much, but I can't read your mind
Madeline
You're scared to death, but the thing is so am I
(Chorus)
So why don't you stay here with me
Whatever tomorrow shows you
Lies aren't always a sign you should leave
Whatever tomorrow shows you
Now and always
Madeline
(Outro)
So why don't you stay here
Just stay here with me
Oh
