The Staying Kind

[Verse 1] The credits roll but she hasn't moved Still somewhere in the scene before The lights come up, the room empties out She's not quite ready for the door [Pre-Chorus] The feeling doesn't ask if you're done Some things you can't unknow once you've felt [Chorus] We are the staying kind Still in the room when the room has gone We are the staying kind Still hearing the song when the song has gone [Verse 2] Someone laughed at nothing much at all The room moved on before the echo did The kettle boiled, the talking carried on But some of us were still inside that laugh [Pre-Chorus] The feeling doesn't ask if you're done Some things you can't unknow once you've felt [Chorus] We are the staying kind Still in the room when the room has gone We are the staying kind Still hearing the song when the song has gone [Bridge] We are scattered through the moments That the rest of the world has left behind Still standing in the light of something passing The staying kind, the staying kind [Final Chorus] We are the staying kind Still in the room when the room has gone We are the staying kind Still hearing the song when the song has gone Some people just are The staying kind [Outro] The credits roll but she hasn't moved She's not quite ready for the door She never is
