Stay
Lyrics and Songs by The Tragically Hip - Go back

You did the best that you could do.
You were a great crew,
who tried to nurture and preserve your
faith in you.
And with the bureau chiefs
and the shrugging spies
You could stay, but why.

You see a light and then another
and everything you fought for
naught’s uncovered.
You’re not a fighter, you’re a lover.
You got no business in here, brother
so... stay.
Stay.

Is it the worst that you could do?
You were a great you,
who tried to nurture and preserve your
faith in you
and with the bureau chiefs
and the shrugging spies
you could stay and why.
Cause you see a light and then another.
Everything you thought you
sought’s uncovered.
You’re a fighter and a lover
and there’s no one up above her
so ...stay.
Stay.

All things being balanced,
it’s balanced and called balancing
somewhere beyond everything it’s being
balanced not for the
sake of balance but balancing between
the throes of learning
and the entire thing
entirely
balancing.
