about

‘Staying in’ is about surrendering to the fact that you can't solve all of your problems, let alone the world's, all at once. Why not grant yourself the right to stay in one night, forget about everything, rest up and recover?

lyrics

I’m gonna leave the world alone tonight
Have me some peace and quiet
Gonna stay and rest my weary head
Give the world some room tonight
It’s not up to me alone to fight it
Gonna keep this soul inside instead

Some problems will stay
And some problems will go
Sometimes you just gotta let ‘em flow
Though there are times that it seems
Without hope

Tomorrow I’ll be back on my horse
To set the world right on its course
Tomorrow I’ll be back on my horse
To set my world right on its course

I think I’ve earned myself a break tonight
It’s been a while since I accepted the right
To dote upon the here and now
Coz less is more and more gets tiring
Sometimes it makes sense to surrender the riot
Start anew on fresher ground

Some problems will stay
And some problems will go
Sometimes you just gotta let ‘em flow
Though there are times that it seems
Without hope

Tomorrow I’ll be back on my horse
To set the world right on its course
Tomorrow I’ll be back on my horse
To set my world right on its course

But tonight I’m staying in
I’m staying in

Just you and me and a TV screen
Is all I need
Don’t write my phone I wanna be alone
Just let me be

I’m staying in
I’m staying in

Gonna hold you tight and close my eyes
And with you lie
One day we might put an end to our plight
But not tonight

Coz I’m staying in
I’m staying in
