Stay Down - Dawes

Micheladas in the afternoon

Lie on the couch in a rented room

Watching Jeopardy without the sound

It’s easy to stay down

Quick mistakes and long goodbyes

Horrible truths and necessary lies

I caught a train that was backwards-bound

It’s easy to stay down

Stay down

Til your mind has been cleared

And your trail can’t be found

Stay down

With your eye to the sky

And your ear to the ground

Down by the pool with all my brand-new friends

Rewriting letters that I’ll never send

Declining invitations into town

It’s easy to stay down

Slowly admit that you have had your fun

The girl you loved and every word you sung

All the profane that you thought profound

It’s time now to stay down

Stay down

Til the smoke has been cleared

And your name can’t be found

Stay down

With your head in the clouds

And your eyes to the ground

Feel the sting of the final blow

What could’ve been, you don’t care or know

Don’t try to go another round

Stay down
