lyrics

(stay, stay)

Eleven months of small small and one month of everything
You arrived in the small small, which nobody does
Everybody comes for December, everybody leaves in January
You came in July when there was nothing here at all

Stay, stay (stay)
Stay for December, stay
You have seen the worst of it, stay
Stay

Stay stay stay stay
December is coming and I want you here, stay
Stay stay stay stay
You saw January first, so stay

The speaker is back in its box until the twenty-third
Auntie has been cooking since the Thursday before
And nobody has money and everybody's coming
And you have seen the box, and you are still at the door

(claps, no drums)
Anyone can love December.
You met me in the eleven months. That's the whole difference.
(DROP)

Stay stay stay stay
December is coming and I want you here, stay
Stay stay stay stay
You saw January first, so stay

(stay...)
