about

The track, which Thomas describes as “what vulnerability looks like in relationships”, is a delicate, minimalist Americana-inspired ballad in the vein of Phoebe Bridgers and is the first single from Thomas’ forthcoming album Behind The Ficus, due out in the Fall of 2021. As she confronts painful truths to move her body and soul forward, heightened emotions linger at the surface as she finds her way.
Writing “Stay With Me” was a cathartic way of unfolding
some tucked away emotions,” she explains. “It’s about
fighting those internal walls we build up along the way.
It felt like an honest introspection on how I desperately
wanted to be held after a hard night and trying to resist
sabotaging a new love with past pain. There’s a huge
vulnerability in truly showing who you are to someone
over and over, and there’s a weight that comes with it
that can be exhausting.”

lyrics

Stay with me, talk me down 
Patiently, until I turn this around
Pull me close, is that ok?
Tender and tightly , cause I’m floating away 

And I don’t want to be rude, lying here covered in blue
Under a sky full of stars I’m lying in your arms
Wondering which one of us is the fool? 

A tiny dream, a stolen smile
And in between flash 
of a desert isle  
Where I was supposed to be ,
It takes a while
We've got time

I play along, kiss my hand 
if nothing else , you think i can
find my way in the dark
I’m not frightened to admit that i’m tired

I don’t wanna be rude , lying here thinking of you 
Under a sky full of stars lying in her arms
Wondering which one of us is the fool

And I don’t wanna confuse you 
and I don’t wanna lose you tonight
Stay by my side if you don’t mind then i don’t mind

I know it’s a mess, this heart in my chest
I've been pushing you've been pulling me through
And I can attest  
That all I have left
Is a broken idea of the truth 
So please can you 

Stay with me, talk me down 
Patiently, until I turn this around
Pull me close, is that ok?
Tender and tightly , cause I’m floating away
