Story behind the song
Inspired by a word in a Wordle. "Mooch" and it evolved from there.
Lyrics
He Stays (c) 2026-Douglas Murphy He don’t always hear me When I call his name Thinks he’s something wild I could never tame Acts like he’s the king Of this little place But when the night gets heavy He’s right here in my space He ain’t the hero In a picture frame But when the world moves on He remains He don’t fetch my slippers He don’t always obey He runs from the thunder But he stands in my way He tears up the garbage Bows his head in shame Yeah, he ain’t always perfect But he stays He stays He don’t count my failures He don’t keep score Greets me like I’m Who I was before Doesn’t care who left Doesn’t ask why He just looks at me Like I hung the sky He don’t know the story He don’t need the blame All he knows is love Without a name He don’t fetch my slippers He don’t always obey He runs from the thunder But he stands in my way He tears up the garbage Bows his head in shame Yeah, he ain’t always perfect But he stays He stays When the silence gets loud When the walls close in When I’m not sure Where I’ve been There’s a heartbeat Steady and plain No promises spoken But he stays He don’t fetch my slippers He don’t always obey He runs from the thunder But he never runs away He may not be fearless He may never change But he’s the best part Of every day Yeah, he ain’t always perfect But he stays He stays
