Lyrics:
Coulda Stayed
by James Trask
V1:
I ran like a convict straight to your arms
Outside world howling like a sandstorm
But I found pardon in your kiss
Wrapping each other safe from harm
V2:
How you pulled me in your wake
How you washed me with your ache
The rolling swell of joy that formed
You were my sun kissed magic mermaid
CH:
I coulda stayed longer in your moment
I coulda built our Taj Mahal
You were my fountain of love forever
But I didn’t know 'til I was gone
V3:
You're the fruit that fed my famine
You're the fire that kept me warm
Through the twisting spiral I was in
You were the altar for all my sins
CH:
Bridge:
Am I imprisoned again?
Empty like I'm waiting at the gallows?
I find myself swinging in your shadow
CH:
Outtro:
Coulda wandered in your forest
Coulda snuggled in your arms
Coulda wandered paths of angels
Coulda snuggled in the stars
'Stead of chasing things I didn’t need
Coulda stayed where you are
Coulda stayed where you are
CH:
