I Want To Stay Together

Mason Jennings


Out on the highway in an old beatup truck
You said that love is full of consequences
There's no such thing as pure blind luck
All of our hearts are full of these defenses

Give me a reason, come tell me why
So many lovers just can't stay together
Give me a reason, come tell me why
I should believe you when you say we're forever

Some say that love is just something we devour
Nothing sets you right like love's power
All of our hearts are still trying to heal
Hardest thing in life is just knowing what you feel

Baby, I know I want to stay together
Baby, I know I want to stay together

Up in the morning and I'm happy to wake
Baby, this fire's only just beginning
Out every the evening we don't need no break
You play and bet and this team will keep on winning

Give me a reason, come tell me why
So many lovers just can't stay together
Give me a reason, come tell me why
I should believe you when you say we're forever

Some say that love is just something we devour
Nothing sets you right like love's power
All of our hearts are still trying to feel
Hardest thing in life is just knowing when it's real

Baby, I know I want to stay together
Baby, I know I want to stay together
