Lyrics of Stay Down by boygenius

verse

I wasn't a fighter 'til somebody told me
I had better learn to lean into the punch
So, I don't hurt as bad when they leave
There you were turning your cheek

verse

I look at you and you look at a screen
I'm in the back seat of my body
I'm just steering my life in the video game
Similar accent, a different name

hook

It's a slow-down

verse

So, would you teach me? I'm the villain, aren't I?
Aren't I the one constantly repenting for a difficult mind?
Push me down into the water like a sinner
Hold me under and I'll never come up again

hook

I'll just stay down

verse

'Cause it's a half life, it's a fallout
It takes so long for me to settle down
And when I finally do, there's no one else around
So, I stay down

hook

So, I stay down
So, I stay down
So, I stay down
So, I stay down
Writer(s): Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus
