The song is the fifth track on Burns' debut EP, Burn Slow, which was released on July 27th, 2018.
[Verse 1]
I've been drinkin' way too much
Takin' different drugs
Stayin' late at dirty clubs
Do it just to feel someone
I've been kissin' girls and guys just to come alive
Hard to feed my appetite
I've been this way all my life
[Pre-Chorus]
But sometimes I get tired of being crazy
This feels good
So maybe, just maybe
[Chorus]
You could be the one to make me
Stay, stay, stay this time
You could be the one to make me
Change, change, change my mind
I always run every time I fall in love, but
You could be the one to make me
Stay, stay, stay this time around
Stay this time around
[Verse 2]
I've been pullin' all the strings
Doing nice things
I've been takin' off my clothes
Always scared of gettin' close
[Pre-Chorus]
But sometimes I get tired of being crazy
This feels good
So maybe, just maybe
[Chorus]
You could be the one to make me
Stay, stay, stay this time
You could be the one to make me
Change, change, change my mind
I always run every time I fall in love, but
You could be the one to make me
Stay, stay, stay this time around
Stay this time around
Maybe this time, maybe this time
Maybe this time, maybe this time
[Bridge]
I'm reckless and wild
Been this way for a while
I don't want someone now
Holding me down
I'm reckless and wild
Been this way for a while
I don't want someone now
Holding me down
[Chorus]
You could be the one to make me
Stay, stay, stay this time
You could be the one to make me
Change, change, change my mind
I always run every time I fall in love, but
You could be the one to make me
Stay, stay, stay this time around
Stay this time around
Maybe this time, maybe this time
Maybe this time, maybe this time
Stay this time around
I always run every time I fall in love, but
You could be the one to make me
Stay, stay, stay this time around
