[Verse 1]
The more I stay, the less I go
We're toe to toe, but I'm hanging on the wire
Stumbled down the same road before
Say I'm leavin', but I'm only playing liar
'Cause when you're lookin' like
[Pre-Chorus]
A movie star in a worn-out coat
Yeah, throw away my mind
And it happens all the time
[Chorus]
I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it's comin' 'round again
And you say it
But I wish it wasn't true, oh
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I just thought we had more to lose
[Post-Chorus]
Uh-uh
Mm-mm
[Verse 2]
The TV's on, but I don't know
My tears are streamin' like our favorite show tonight
Tonight
Memories fade like denim jeans
I try to chase when you're runnin' through my mind
'Cause, God, you're lookin' like
[Pre-Chorus]
You're lookin' like a movie star in a worn-out coat
So I throw away my mind
And it happens all the time, uh
[Chorus]
Oh, I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it's comin' 'round again
And you say it
But I wish it wasn't true, oh
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I just thought we had more to lose
[Bridge]
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you're lookin' like a movie star in a worn-out coat
So I throw away my pride
It happens all the time
God, it happens all the time
[Chorus]
Oh, I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it's comin' 'round again, but it don't, baby
And you say it
But I wish it wasn't true, no
I knew someday that one would have to choose
Oh, I knew someday you'd do what I couldn't do
I just thought we had more to lose
[Outro]
Mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm

On a song like ‘More To Lose’ I try to keep it a singular take. Add my harmonies, or adlibs at the end but it’s really a song that’s more of a story and I never want that to be interrupted or overthought or chasing perfection. I never wanted ‘More To Lose’ to feel perfect, I wanted it to sound meani...
