stay the year

i’d stay the year
if i could
you wouldn’t hear the last of it
oh mountain near
is all i need here?


wherever i go
i take what i know
another season to wither and grow
another chance to make sense of it all


cos every step i take
brings me back to the start
to the centre of the heart
until i break


and everything i try
there’s a reason


no it’s never going away
no it’s never going away
i was in a nervous state
but i wanted
i i i wanted to stay


feels like a dream come true
feels like a dream come true
feels like a dream i outgrew
i’m not ready but i’ll dive in too


(it feels like a—)
