Stay up, one more time 
You can kick me outa your room any other night 
Make me, feel, at home like this 
I don't wanna go down the stairs 
Cause I won't get this chance again 

Oh the blood of Carolina never felt so thick, I can see it in your eyes 
So come on California just give it up 
I'm so tired of tryin 

And u know that I feel like an old stray dog 
Just searching for a home 
So look me in the eyes and tell me you don't want me 
Then I will finally go 

And I wanna believe in everything you say 
But if I do then it gets that much harder and I can't stay awake 
And every time I fall down the stairs and go to my room as if I don't care 
I'm trying to run away from what you do, but we kill time like we got nothing to lose 

Oh the blood of Carolina never felt so thick I can see it in your eyes 
Come on California just give it up 
I'm so tired of tryin 

And u know that I feel like an old stray dog 
Just searching for a home 
So look me in the eyes and tell me you don't want me 
Then I will finally go 

Oh so far away and so close to home 
I always get the feeling that I got control 
But I'm a stray dog so won't you let me in 
And make me feel at home

Stray Dog

Stop now, yanking my chain 
don't call me back, just a making me wait 
yeah your face is sweet, but your lips leave a bitter taste 

Cause i'm sitting, just stumbling around 
while you gone which ya girls 
yeah you out on the town 
stealing my dignity theres not much left to see here 

Cause I know what you want to see 
when you're staring looking through me 
hoping for a mirror waiting on the other side 
I can see right through you 
just an empty soul nothing new 
another girl addicted to her life 

So go on, post that photo now 
let everybody know where you've been hanging out 
in your mind, the sun only shines when you walk outside 

So step back, here lies your frame 
go on, pretend your sane 
you know like I do 
that this world eats at you the same 

Cause I know what you want to see 
when you're staring looking through me 
hoping for a mirror waiting on the other side 
I can see right through you 
just an empty soul nothing new 
another girl addicted to her life 

I've been running around all day, tryna get in her way 
She can't stop her cold heart, every time she turns away 
And she believes that I can't leave until she makes her mind 

So I step back relax, click it to the next track 
On her phone don't even notice that I'm gona leave her ass 
And she was find but I can find a dime who's worth my time 

Cause I know what you want to see 
when you're staring looking through me 
hoping for a mirror waiting on the other side 
I can see right through you 
just an empty soul nothing new 
another girl addicted to her life 

Cause I know what you want to see 
when you're staring looking through me 
hoping for a mirror waiting on the other side 
I can see right through you 
just an empty soul nothing new 
another girl addicted to her life

Right now this is, such a lovely day 
don’t get up I’m pretty sure, California will wait 
well I’d love you forever, if you’re feelings didn’t change 
but I know you know better, and nothing stays the same 

But you, you’re not one 
you’re always split in two 
and half of, you loves me 
while the other halves untrue 

So just go, to New York 
and I’ll save myself out West 
I tried, to make you feel 
But only hurt myself 

Oh it’s Sunday now 
and we’re so happy 
But then one day will come 
and I know you’ll forget me 

You shut your heart down 
and I can’t sleep at all 
you fall into my arms now 
and you say, “This is home” 

But you, you’re not one 
you’re always split in two 
and half of, you loves me 
while the other halves untrue 

So just go, to New York 
and I’ll save myself out West 
I tried, to make you feel 
but only hurt myself 

But you, you’re not one 
you’re always split in two 
and half of, you loves me 
while the other halves untrue 

So just go, to New York 
and I’ll save myself out West 
I tried, to make you feel 
but only hurt myself

Half Of You

I know that you, you been looking for a let down 
and iv'e been coming around 
tryna find holes within your hope 

And iv'e been screaming for days 
turning into months now 
there was nothing to figure out 
just an angel on my back 

And iv'e been a told 
what I already do know 
a gypsy soul don't let go 
and you ain't ever gona stand still 

So I called upon your bluff 
cause I know you wana love 
oh you can run forever 
and i'll stand by your side 

It takes one to walk the earth alone 
but there’s two souls you gotta know 
your'e not the only one who 
can't stand still 

You used to think 
you could run around me 
and i'd be drowning 
in a world that you live in 

But I see right through 
everything you do 
your'e nothing new 
and your'e heart won't be left behind 

So I called upon your bluff 
cause I know you wana love 
oh you can run forever 
but i'll stand by your side 

It takes one to walk the earth alone 
but theres, two souls you gotta know 
your'e not the only one who 
can't stand still 

You wana run cause you won't let the world 
take hold of you, little girl 
go on get high, just one more time 
so you can fall asleep and 

Escape what you've been hiding from 
seen so much the worlds become 
numb to where you are now 
and you won't leave this place 

So I called upon your bluff 
cause I know you wana love 
oh you can run forever 
but i'll stand by your side 

It takes one to walk the earth alone 
but theres, two souls you gotta know 
your'e not the only one who 
can't stand still... 


Oh oh oh oh oh oh, gypsy soul 
Oh oh oho oh, let go, gypsy soul

Gypsy Soul

Gotta black pair of leather shoes 
and iv'e worn them all the time 
but the ground below has torn the souls 
now they ain't got much life 

Got the same old pair of pants 
iv'e been wearing for some years 
but the holes in the pockets don't hold my wallet 
and the seems are starting to tear 

Tell myself it's fine 
you've looked like this, your whole life 
but the bags beneath your eyes 
whisper that you need, some kinda sleep 
And if you're afraid to try 
then whats the point, of anything 
cause your old shoes yeah they're fine 
cause they still let you, walk, outside 

And your head is aching again 
as the light pours in 
and you're scared to see what it could be 
so you roll on back to bed 

Oh the memories won't come back 
cause you've washed them all away 
and you wana dream about everything 
but you don't really wana see 

Tell myself it's fine 
you've looked like this, your whole life 
but the bags beneath your eyes 
whisper that you need, some kinda sleep 
And if you're afraid to try 
then whats the point, of anything 
cause your old shoes yeah they're fine 
cause they still let you, walk, outside 

Yeah it's cold there ( its cold there) 
But at night ( at night) , You can see your life (you can see your life) 
And its true, when you're wondering home theres 
Still some light. 

Atop the road 
And I promise you, it'l guide you home. 

Tell myself it's fine 
you've looked like this, your whole life 
but the bags beneath your eyes 
whisper that you need, some kinda sleep 
And if you're afraid to try 
then whats the point, of anything 
cause your old shoes yeah they're fine 
cause they still let you, walk, outside
