== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]

Going out, we hope to lose ourselves

Then get found in unlikely places

A little presumption's all you need

To end up empty

Who really says they hope they'll meet the one

For the first time at a bar drinking early?

Easy enough to say "Hey man, I'm done"

And never hear them say

[Chorus]

Oh, honey, if you stay, hey, hey

We go all the way

But how am I supposed to know, oh, no

When to let the feelings show?

Honey, if you stay, hey, hey

We take it all the way

And no one really knows, oh, no

When to let the feelings show, oh-ho, oh-ho

Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]

We get discouraged by the pointlessness

And we're pretty quick to judge things pointless

There's what I want and what I need

And the latter takes a while to see

It doesn't matter how often, how old

It starts with an awkward beginning

I believe that what I've learned has worth

And what I choose to do means something

[Chorus]

So honey, if you stay, hey, hey

We go all the way

But how am I supposed to know, oh, no

When to let the feelings show?

Honey, if you stay, hey, hey

We take it all the way

'Cause no one really knows, oh, no

When to let the feelings show, oh-ho, oh-ho

[Bridge]

Crowds and the noise receding

Down to just you and me, yeah

We could do anything you want

[Chorus]

So honey, if you stay, hey, hey

We go all the way

But how am I supposed to know, oh, no

When to let the feelings show?

Honey, if you stay, hey, hey

We take it all the way

Whoever really knows, oh, no

When to let the feelings show? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Outro]

When to let the feelings show, oh-oh, oh-oh

When to let the feelings show, oh-oh, oh-oh

When to let the feelings show, oh-oh, oh-oh

When to let the feelings show, oh-oh, oh-oh

When to let the feelings show, oh-oh, oh-oh

When to let the feelings show, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Music]
00:02
we record all the time
00:06
on our own and we save everything
00:09
because you never know when something
00:10
you're working on that doesn't pan out
00:13
into a song you might cannibalize later
00:16
because it it just something about it
00:18
works and you can fit it in the chorus
00:20
for all the way stay was one of those
00:24
things that just never seemed to work
00:26
and we kind of put it away like a long
00:30
time ago when we were working on
00:32
material for surviving we had the first
00:34
part of it which is you know kind of
00:36
like a start-stop thing and then it was
00:39
like well feels like it should open up
00:41
and kind of get going here but you know
00:45
what would work is this crazy old idea
00:47
that would you know induce count so get
00:49
put it in it was like the same key and
00:52
you know the melody fit and it just it
00:54
just worked I think it's it's just sort
01:03
of like one of those it's just really
01:05
fun to play you know because of like the
01:07
all the negative space in like the verse
01:10
section it just feels kind of heavy even
01:13
though it's like a fun kind of up
01:15
lifting sort of tune it's like the the
01:18
heaviness of the start-stop riff part
01:21
this is fun to play like on the day we
01:23
recorded it we kind of like the way we
01:25
record is you know we'll do the drums
01:27
first and then the base and then the
01:30
guitars and the vocals so like the days
01:31
are spread out but I think just from a
01:33
you know from a drum perspective it's a
01:36
fun rhythmic song because of like what
01:38
Jim was saying is like that negative
01:40
space and that's the simplicity of just
01:42
like the kick drum and the flam's on the
01:44
snare
01:47
[Music]
01:50
in the 80s there always be some rippen
01:52
like solo or lead that comes in right as
01:55
your song is fading out so it's like ah
01:58
about what James ended up James from
02:01
fits in the trance rooms plays sax on it
02:03
like what he end up doing was so cool is
02:05
kept the whole thing we were gonna fade
02:07
out so now it's just like minute and a
02:09
half just jam
02:14
[Music]
02:17
everybody's trying to present themselves
02:21
in a maybe a heightened state of
02:24
perfection like with everyone you know
02:27
all social media dating apps you know
02:30
it's like you're constantly trying to
02:32
present this this higher version of you
02:34
and when you get a chance to connect
02:38
with somebody in real life then you are
02:40
constantly struggling to live up to that
02:42
and you know I guess like I just said
02:45
the song is about like trying to lead
02:46
with your authentic self because then
02:48
there's no none of that trying to live
02:52
up to some imaginary expectation that
02:54
was never real to begin with
02:56
[Music]
02:59
you
02:59

On the saxophone, Adkins said the band had wanted to include a gag that is heard in 1980s music, which is include a solo from an instrument that isn't heard anywhere else in the song. <ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8532664/jimmy-eat-world-interview-jim-adkins-surviving|title=Jimmy Eat World's Survival Guide: Frontman Jim Adkins On The Band's History You've Never Heard|last=Payne|first=Chris|date=2019-10-14|publisher=Billboard|website=Billboard.com|access-date=2021-01-31|quote=We always wanted to try this gag that happens a lot in '80s music: you get to the end of the song and then this ripping solo of something that hasn't yet appeared in the song just kicks in and then it fades out.

On 2019-09-23 [[Surviving]] was announced for release the following month, and "All the Way (Stay)" was released as a single. A music video was released for the song, directed by [[Daniel Carberry]].

Surviving follows Jimmy Eat World’s 2016 album Integrity Blues. Lead singer and guitarist Jim Adkins said of the new LP, “Surviving explores some of the different kinds of weights my ego tells me I have to carry, what I see people around me choosing to carry and what I have found to be the truth when I choose to let go.”

Jimmy Eat World also issued a newly recorded version of “Love Never,” their 2018 single, which will be included on Surviving as well.|last=Shaffer|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jimmy-eat-world-all-the-way-stay-888692/|title=Jimmy Eat World Preview 10th Studio Album With 'All the Way (Stay)'|first=Claire|website=Rolling Stone|date=2019-09-23|access-date=2021-01-31|publisher=Rolling Stone}}</ref> On 2019-10-10 the band appeared on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'', where they played "All the Way (Stay)" and "Love Never". <ref>{{Citation|title=Jimmy Eat World perform “Love Never” and “All the Way (Stay)” on Kimmel: Watch|last=CoS Staff|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/10/jimmy-eat-world-all-the-way-stay-love-never-kimmel/|date=2019-10-11}}</ref>
