(Music fades in – synth pad shimmering low breathy intro)
Nnnn-ah nnnn-ah yeeeahh
Spottedchu movin' where the lights hang low uh-huh
[Sharp inhale] Lookin' electric now I ain't ya beau
Then your eyes met mine—damn—froze ya solid right there
Saw one single drop escape like ya didn't have a care [voice cracks slightly]
Dunnnnno why I always gotta dip [quick breath]
Swearrr I'll shatter ya when I make that slip—run n' hide
Coulda shoulda grilled me why I cracked ya soul in twooo
Coulda whispered how ya crumbled nothin' left but blueee
[Faster tempo] But ya slid right past me like I'm nothin'—just thin airrr
Put that mask on tight like nahhh you didn't even carre [ends sharp breathy]
Dunnnnno why I make that quick escape—mmmh
Gonna make ya ache when I leave this place yeah leave this place
(Chorus - Voice lifts slightly more resonant slightly strained emotion)
Haul me back in baaabe 'cause I wanna hold onnnn
Keep them teardrops lock'd up 'til the hurt is gone gone gone
Stash them tears babe for a different dawnnnn [voice trails off slightly breathy]
Yeah stash 'em now girl 'til a different dawn comes 'round
Sooo [drawn out slightly nasal]
Had ya buyin' dreams I'd never leave ya side no lie
Spoke some poison shoulda kept it deep inside deeep inside yeah
Yeah I wrecked your world like someone once wrecked mine uh-huh cycle repeats
And now ya ain't gon' trust this heart a second time no second time
Dunnnnno why I run run run awayyyy [ad-lib: ohhh no no]
Tooolld ya I'd make ya cry when I run awayyyy run away run away
(Bridge - Pleading tone more rhythmic faster pace)
Girl haul me back in 'cause I wanna staaay wanna staaay
Keep them tears back for anotherrrr [quick inhale] uhhh
See it crystal clear now I'm way way too late way too late yeah
And ya rate someone steady seal ya better fate deserve much betterrr
(Chorus - Full voice belts slightly more power ad-libs)
Stash them tears babe for a different dawnnnn (ohhh yeahhh!)
Stash 'em now girl 'til a different dawn comes 'round (come on yeah!)
Dunnnnno why I always gotta flee the scene [shaky breath]
Gonna make ya weep yeah make the picture mean so mean
(Outro - Fades intensity voice becomes more breathy echoing)
Stash them tears now for another dawnnnn
Oohhhh girl [whispered ahhh]
I said stash them tears now for another dawn [longer drawn out ahhhhhh]
Stash them tears now for another dawn [higher faint ah]
Stash them tears now for another dawn [final breathy ah fades with synth]
(Synth pad holds then fades to silence)
