[Intro] (French horn motif, soft strings, timpani roll — 8 bars, no vocal) [Verse 1] What do you do When night is so young When this has to be true By a slip of the tongue [Verse 2] What do you do When all of this fantasy Looks like a simple breakthrough Or just one more agony [Pre-Chorus] And I can't tell the difference anymore Between the dream and what I'm falling for [Chorus] So I stay (so I stay) Here in the arms of night So I stay (so I stay) Even when it don't feel right 'Cause what do you do When your heart won't let you leave So I stay, ohh I stay With my heart out on my sleeve [Verse 3] What do you do When the morning finds you weak When every word you meant to say Just dies before you speak [Pre-Chorus] And I can't hold this quiet anymore It's breaking soft against the door [Chorus] So I stay (so I stay) Here in the arms of night So I stay (so I stay) Even when it don't feel right 'Cause what do you do When your heart won't let you leave So I stay, ohh I stay With my heart out on my sleeve [Bridge] (timpani rolls, full brass + strings + gospel choir swell) I've been holding back these years Drowning quiet in my fears But tonight I'm letting go Tonight I need you so [Outro] (French horn motif returns, strings fade) "What do you do... ohh... what do you do..."
