El Matador Lyrics - All About Chemistry - Semisonic

Matador sweeps the veil 

From the last young day of my life 

Malibu tides inhale 

Santa Ana winds from behind 

Wade out into the water 

No more chances this year 

I've busied myself all summer 

My day for swimmin' is here 

Yes, it's time 

Seaside revelations 

All those dreams and visions of mine 

Washed up like a vacation 

Lost as I wasted my time 

Lookin' through my dark glasses 

I see smiles on the faces of friends 

But time keeps pushin' me on now 

And I'll ride this wave till the end 

Please don't go away 

Stay awhile, stay awhile 

Please don't go away 

Stay awhile, stay awhile 

Say goodbye to the weekend 

And the last of the summertime sun 

Drivin' off the end of a decade 

So many things to be done 

September and the trees are restless 

Wind chimes blow in the dark 

Lyin' on the couch defenseless 

With blue clouds court and spark 

Please don't go away 

Stay awhile, stay awhile 

Please don't go away 

Stay awhile, stay awhile 

Please don't go away 

Stay awhile, stay awhile 

Please don't go away 

Why don't you stay awhile? Stay awhile
