Stay or Go
This is a song that I wrote a few years ago. On the face of it, it’s about deciding whether or not to cheat on your lover, but that’s not what it’s really about. It’s really a song about making any life-changing decision.
Lyrics
‘Twas not long ago that I thought
I’d spend the rest of my days with you.
Never even thought of anyone else.
You were my world.But then I met somebody new.
She was different, she was exciting.
Not the you that I knew you so true,
‘Cause every minute with her was like a dream.Should I leave you to be with her?
Should I stay with you and never know
What it could be like to be with her?
Should I stay or should I go?But then I woke up to your reality,
And I remembered where I was.
Trapped in your arms and oh so alone,
Thinking about her…Should I leave you to be with her?
Should I stay with you and never know
What it could be like to be with her?
Should I stay or should I go?I know life with you.
And I know how it would be.
But I don’t really know her, and I don’t really care,
‘Cause every minute with her is like a dream.Should I leave you to be with her?
Should I stay with you and never know
What it might be like to be with her?
Should I stay with you and never know
What it could be like to be with her?
Should I stay or should I…
Should I stay or should I…
Should I stay or should I go?

I liked that, and you sang it well. Emigration?
How does your lovely fiancee feel about this song?
It’s not about her. Paul got it right.
I knew that.
