TV flashes down the hall, painting pictures on the wall,
And you're still sleeping on my knees.
And in the glow of silver light, I trace the lines above your eyes:
Just another wrinkle that you can blame on me.
But I can hear the current of the freeway in the distance if I keep listening.
And I wonder if you ever thought of streaming off somewhere with it.
Am I not what you thought?
Will you get tired of what you got?

If I can't give you anymore,
Than weathered ships and distant shores,
Would you still be my compass, yeah?
'Cause you keep loving me the same:
I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby:
You stay with me, baby.

Another day, another week: we'll slip back in old routines,
Till nights like these come in between.
Simple moments in the dark, ones that life can't tear apart:
They come along, oh, just when we need.
And I still hear the current of the freeway in the distance but I stop listening.
'Cause I know you'll stay. even though the waves are always shifting:
We're fighting our way through,
I guess I always knew:

If I can't give you anymore,
Than weathered ships and distant shores,
Would you still be my compass, yeah?
'Cause you keep loving me the same:
I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby:
You stay with me, baby.

'Cause you keep loving me the same:
I don't know how but you still stay with me, baby:
You stay with me, baby.
Oh, you stay with me.
