Stand (Tiny Desk)

[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four
You are the light of my world
Don't need to try so hard
Dreaming of time on my hands
Changing the ways I fall

[Verse 1]
I want you
But I don't want your reasons why
You can't even look me in my eye
I told you
So don't you make me say it one more time, one more time, like

[Pre-Chorus]
When you went away
Moonlight took the day, day
Stars and darkness all collided
In the loneliest of space

[Chorus]
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand?
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand, stand, stand?

[Verse 2]
Can you stand the rain? Yeah, baby
When summer's gone and there's no use in
Weighing it out all the time all in vain
Seeping deeper into blame

[Pre-Chorus]
When you went away
Moonlight took the day
Stars and darkness all collided
In the loneliest of space

[Chorus]
Will you stand, stand, stand?
Or will you falter
Will you lean into the timeless bending
Never-ending strength in your heart
Or will you prosper
Will you recover after all the love
You've lost and lost again
Will you stand, stand, stand, stand, woo?
Will you stand, stand, stand?

[Bridge]
The universe defined it over all of me (Yeah, yeah)
And I've been looking deep into my soul (Ooh)
Finding my reflection in the mercury (Mercury)
And turning, turning my transgressions into gold (Whoa, whoa)
Knew you would be miles away (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh

[Outro]
But baby we don't have to run so hard
You're nothing to fuck with
They see it in the way we are
And they can't realign the stars, no
You're nothing to fuck with
They see it in the way we are
But we don't have to run so hard (Run so hard, run so hard, run so hard, hard)
And call me crazy, but they see it in the way we are (Way we are, way we are, way we are, are)
Listen baby, we don't have to run so hard (Run so hard, run so hard, run so hard, hard)
And call me crazy, but they see it in the way we are (Way we are, way we are, way we are, are)
So come on baby, yeah
Can you stand the rain?
Make it through all the things they say (Hey, yeah)
