The first single in upcoming debut full-album release of new Retropop Indie artist Talley, "We Can't Stay" is a sonic tribute to 1984's "Heartbeat City" by The Cars, with a fresh, nostalgic yet futuristic approach.

lyrics

You give the whole of your heart
from the Star...
God knows why you try and try
to make 'em love you, whether it live or die.

You wear your heart on your sleeve,
but everyone leaves.
You try and try to find
a reason why
another soul could leave a soul to die.

Oh let's leave here
We can't stay!

Some may come and some may go, I said,
"Another one will love and leave you like before."
Some will stay, some will go, I said,
"You're never gonna find it standing at your door."

The sirens sound from afar,
the speeding cars,
they rearrange inside the dotted lines
to find their own demise: a homicide!

They said it spreads from within,
The man of Sin.
We try to search and find, and look inside,
until we realise, we all will rise.

Oh, we're leavin
We can't stay!

Some may come, some may go, I said,
"Another one will love and leave you like before."
Some will stay, some will go, I said,
"You're never gonna find it standin' at the door."

Some may come, some may go, woah!
Some will stay, some will go, woah!

Oh, we're leavin
We can't stay!

Oh, I'm leavin,
I won't stay!

Some may come, some may go, I said,
"Another one will love and leave you like before."
Some will stay, some will go, I said,
"You're never gonna find it standin' at the door."
