I Can't Stay

More than three years ago, The Killers released Day & Age. At the time, I really only enjoyed the single "Human" and I very quickly dismissed the rest of the album. Three years later in 2011 I discovered the track "I Can't Stay".


This is why I love my iPod and the shuffle function.

Usually I give a solid, focused listen to every album that I purchase. Unfortunately sometimes I am quick to throw aside an album if it rubs me the wrong way too early on when listening. This definitely happened with Day & Age.

It's 2:30am right now, so I don't plan on giving the album its deserved playing time right now. But tomorrow, it will be happening. In the meantime, have a listen to "I Can't Stay".

The emotion it was electric
And the stars, they all aligned
I knew I had to make my decision
But I never made the time 

No, I never made the time

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

Exoneration lost his eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
'Cause I'm not the only one

No, I'm not the only one

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay, very far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

There is a majesty at my doorstep
And there's a little boy in her arms
Now we'll parade around without game plans
Obligations or alarm

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay, very far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

In the dark for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

In the dark
