If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you Not to go but to stay in my arms Would you walk out the door Like you did once before? This time Be different Please stay Don't go If I call out your name like a prayer Would you leave me alone with my tears? Knowing I need you so Would you still turn and go? This time Be different Please stay Don't go Please stay I loved you before I even knew your name And I wanted to give you my heart But then you came back after leaving me one time I knew that the heartache would start If I called out your name like a song That was written for you You alone Would you still hurt my pride? Oh, hey, how I cried This time Be different Please stay Please stay, don't go Please stay, don't go Please stay

We shared a special moment I think you felt it too I know you wanted more Right now, this is the best that I can do If I gave you too little too late How is that a no I don't wanna give you up But I don't wanna let you go, please stay I just need a litte time And a little help to find All the words to say, please stay Before you walking out the door I know you wanted more So give me one more day, please stay You were looking after you I was looking after me Sometimes it's hard to know the difference Between what we want and what we need I might not have said all the right things But I know the way I feel Give me one more chance Baby we can make this real, please stay Don't wanna hear you say goodbye 'Cause there's a million reasons why We shouldn't let it end this way, please stay I don't wanna see you go I need to let you know Some things are hard to say, please stay Please stay Don't wanna walk away, please stay We shouldn't let it end this way I know you wanted more Just give me one more day, Please stay

And I'll get old And I'll get tired And I won't run Into the water You gotta let me go down Will you remember me as I am now? And I know you're strong I know you're a manmade fortress But we're alone And I'm so willing to be proven wrong And I fight time It won in a landslide I'm just as good as anybody I'm just as bad as anybody You talk like you know the walls are thin And I don't mind if you don't mind me listening And I'm tired of all these wires If I go far enough Will they not follow us? And I fight time It won in a landslide I'm just as good as anybody I'm just as bad as anybody And I fight time It won in a landslide I'm just as good as anybody I'm just as bad as anybody

You said "Don't go changing I'll rearrange to let you in And I'll be your historian And you'll be mine And I'll fill pages of scribbled ink Hoping the words carry meaning" Then one day, the motorcade Covered in flower wreaths First in a big parade Will come to take one of us away Leaving the other with plenty to read This is what I want to talk about But somehow the words will not leave my mouth Was I most complete at the beginning? Or the bow? If past you were to meet future me Would you be holding me here and now?

You threw your books into the river Told your Mom that you're a non-believer She says she wasn't surprised but that doesn't make it ok You say nobody loves a city Nobody loves what can't love 'em back One-way ticket in your pocket What happened to the charm of a small town? If you find what you're looking for Be sure to send a postcard You promised you'd never forget The little ones when you got big You deal an unspoken debt No kindness without wanting something back What do I owe you? What did I forget? Are we even after all of that? You shook my hand and said goodbye You'll never let me see you cry again What good has come from learning to pretend? You said I could've been a better friend If you find what you're looking for Be sure to send a new address And if you find what you're looking for Write a letter and tell us what it is, and tell us what it is Everybody else, everybody else looks like they've figured it out Everybody else, everybody else looks like they've figured it out Everybody else, everybody else looks like they've figured it out Everybody else, everybody else looks like they've figured it out

Being back here makes me hot in the face Hot blood in my pulsing veins Heavy memories weighing on my brain Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place You used to be so sweet Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street Couldn't look away even if I wanted Try to walk away but I come back to the start Led me to the floor even though I'm not a dancer Ask me all the questions that your parents wouldn't answer How could I deny a diamond in the rough? You let me in your world until you had enough You knew that I wanted you to bend the rules How did I believe I had a hold on you? You were always stronger than people suspected Underestimated and overprotected When I went away, it was the only option Couldn't trust myself to proceed with caution The most that I could give to you is nothing at all The best that I could offer was to miss your calls Being back here makes me hot in the face Hot blood in my pulsing veins Heavy memories weighing on my brain Hot and heavy in the basement of your parents' place You used to be so sweet Now you're a firecracker on a crowded street Couldn't look away even if I wanted Try to walk away but I come back to the start And it happens over and over and over and over again Over and over and over and over again I wish I was over it, over it, over it, over it A hidden gem, my own goldmine You had the wide and wild eyes You were a secret to yourself You couldn't keep from anyone else Now you're the biggest brightest flame You are a fire that can't be tamed You're better than ever, but I knew you when It's bittersweet to see you again

I'm a ghost, walking in a boring dream You are there, talking and I'm not listening I am busy doing nothing And you're rudely interrupting It's a myth and now I see it clearly You don't have to be sad to make something worth hearing Now I'm calm and content One more burden off my back You don't wanna be a creator Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand I'm a ghost, walking on an empty street No name anymore, no need to call for me I'm a long-lost hometown hero Late to legendary past lives within me If I had the offer to do it again Make me invincible, invisible, or brain dead If the body and the life were two things that we could divide I'd deliver up my shell to be filled with somebody else You don't wanna be a creator Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand You don't wanna be a leader Doesn't mean you don't know the way Hold your own hand, walk on without a plan

Longing for your short hair to grow back to the way you like Thank you for the gesture I regret ever implying that you could be better Didn't mean to empty your perfect body And fill it with my passing will Easily won, weary of losing, gullible girl Weak and alluring, well, we break our rules Get drunk in the dark Laughing aloud at the spinning stars Believe me, I'm speaking plainly and painfully Trying to stay elegant, eloquent, and akin to you I see you holding your breath with your arms outstretched Waiting for someone to come rip open your chest You take me aside To solemnly confide When it comes the time You plan to give your body to the flame
