[Verse 1: Forrest]
Take me back right to the start
Before this ache, I feel apart
Closer than the air I breathe
Never thought I’d see you leave

[Pre-Chorus: Forrest]
Somedays, you call me in love
And I can tell it's real
Somedays, you take me
To places I could never feel
Oh, you're here now
But life's taking you far away
Oh, you're here now
One last chance to hear me say

[Chorus: Alexa]
Why won’t you just stay
Why won’t you just stay, with me
Why won’t you just stay
Why won’t you just stay, with me

[Verse 2: Forrest]
Take me back when we were young
By my side under the sun
Used to be just you and me
Never thought I’d see you leave

[Pre-Chorus: Forrest]
Somedays, you call me in love
And I can tell it's real
Somedays, you take me
To places I could never feel
Oh, you're here now
But life's taking you far away
Oh, you're here now
One last chance to hear me say

[Chorus: Alexa]
Why won’t you just stay
Why won’t you just stay, with me
Why won’t you just stay
Why won’t you just stay, with me

Formed in 2017, Surfaces is a Texas-based duo made up of Forrest. and Colin Padalecki, making upbeat, feel-good pop influenced by ‘70s R&B, electronica, and hip-hop.

After working with his cousin in high school, Padalecki continued working on tracks while attending Texas A&M University, where he began posting songs online, which caught the attention of Forrest. In December 2017, Surfaces released their debut album, Surf, which included the song “Be Alright.”

The track gained fans online and helped build buzz for the duo, who eventually found themselves touring in support of the album. In 2019, they issued their sophomore LP, Where the Light Is, which included “Sunday Best,” catapulting the duo into the spotlight. Surfaces returned with their third album, Horizons, in 2020.
