lyrics

I dreamed I'm a Seraph standing on a plateau
I look from the cliffside to the boulders below
I see flocks of demons circling their prey
And I thought I would try to save the day
Now I'm falling so quickly and my wings are gone I might not survive this but I'll carry on

Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
Doesn't mean you can't stay
Baby just stay, don't go away

I look in the mirror so maybe I'll see
What is this problem inside of me?
I'm looking far back now
To many years ago
Was I supposed to see this?
Was I supposed to know?

Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
Doesn't mean you can't stay
Baby just stay, don't go away

I look to the future creased on my palm
Where is my comfort? Should I recite a psalm
Of Kings and serpents who will save the day?
I might not survive this, but I thought I'd stay

Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
Doesn't mean you can't stay
Baby just stay

Sometimes love, you can't fight your demons
They just float away, just float away
And sometimes love, a lovely dream ends
You just lie awake with what you can take away

Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
