From the recording Nothing To Say
"Stay," a track from MTStreets' EP "Nothing To Say," is a heartfelt ballad that reflects on a past love. The song narrates MTStreets' feelings for a girl he was deeply in love with while living in Los Angeles. He expresses regret over moving to Miami, suggesting that if the girl had reciprocated his feelings, he would have stayed in LA with her. "Stay" is a poignant reflection on the choices made in the pursuit of love and the lingering what-ifs that accompany them.
Lyrics
You and only you can make me stay
I'm better off without you but I'll never change
Embrace me with a love I can't escape
The summer's almost over
I'll be gone before you know it
Yeah well you and only you can get it babe
Been trying way too hard to make me feel this way
If only I was in a better place
Then all these damn emotions wouldn't travel with me
We can talk all damn night no matter where we are
Call me my type and call me when you want
I've been inside for I don't know how long
Make me feel alive and make me want it all
I've been uptight but that don't mean shit
Out of my mind without a reason
You can decide if I'll be leaving
There ain't no better way to make me stay
Cuz ain't nobody waiting just to wait
Take me by the water maybe for the weekend
Not everybody wants to play your games
With you I can't explain it how you leave me speechless
You and only you can make me stay
I'm better off without you but I'll never change
Embrace me with a love I can't escape
The summer's almost over
I'll be gone before you know it
Yeah well you and only you can get it babe
Been trying way too hard to make me feel this way
If only I was in a better place
Then all these damn emotions wouldn't travel with me
Let's leave this town just for the week
We can hop on a first class ticket if I'm worth that
Say no more no need to speak
We can dance all night let the music work magic
Oooohhh so hard to be done
Oooohhh almost hard to keep fighting this feeling of being in love
With our house we can build it perfectly
Little life in the middle of the beach
We can fly with the birds if we had wings
I'd give you any and everything
Anything everything
You and only you can make me stay
I'm better off without you but I'll never change
Embrace me with a love I can't escape
The summer's almost over
I'll be gone before you know it
Yeah well you and only you can get it babe
Been trying way too hard to make me feel this way
If only I was in a better place
Then all these damn emotions wouldn't travel with me
