What is the story/meaning behind stay?
I want to say that it's about a abusive relationship but that would seem to shallow for the type of lyrics this band writes!
 
I don't know what the song was intended to be about, or even if it had a specific intention, but my spin on it has been that's its about yearning in general, and a one night stand specifically.
 
The song Stay is actually a song done for Wim Wenders' film Stay (Far Away SO Close!)

Its about angels who want to be human costing them their immortality.
Just look at the movie title!
"A vampire, or a victim, it depends on who's around"

Now go listen to the song!
