Lyrics

She Stays For One More

By Jimmy Shoals · One More Round Of Sunshine

She had a morning flight, bag already packed One drink at the hotel bar before she headed back Two weeks of sun and saltwater, all of it good— Almost time to get back to something like real life He was just somebody talking on the stool beside her Nothing she was looking for, nothing she was chasing She looked at her watch—then looked at him— She stays for one more One more never hurt nobody She stays for one more And that's all it takes sometimes She got home alright—lasted about a week Something about the island kept coming up in her sleep She told herself it was the water, the way the light hit the reef— Didn't say his name out loud before she'd booked the flight She called it one more week of sunshine, told her friends she'd be right back— Packed a little lighter than she did the time before She stays for one more One more never hurt nobody She stays for one more And that's all it takes sometimes She's got a coffee habit on the back porch most mornings Fifteen years of watching how the light comes off the water He leans in the doorway, asks if she needs anything— She holds her cup up—"one more, if you've got it" She knows exactly what that means now Knew it somewhere in the middle of it all You don't walk into a life— You stay into one One drink, one night, one season at a time Nobody sees the door close behind them It just does She stays for one more One more never hurt nobody She stays for one more And that's all it takes sometimes One more morning she didn't leave— She stays for one more Everything she has is everything she chose She stays for one more One more… That's all it takes… One more…
