The Walk Home - Young the Giant

I could cry an ocean to keep me afloat But the walls won't let me I could leave the party and no one would know But my feet are too heavy Some say she's fickle as water Someone's daughter, someone's 2 a.m. kiss in the night Some know nothing about her Why she takes cold showers Why she's a girl tryna get back inside Moon, walk me home I'm dying here, dying here Don't leave me alone I'm trying here, trying here Save me from the night Moon, walk me home If they could just breathe with my lungs for a day Then they'd finally get it How sometimes the truth is just too much to say So it festers there while Some say she's fickle as water Someone's daughter, someone Too drunk to ask for a ride Some know nothing about her Why she takes cold showers Why she's a girl tryna get back inside Moon, walk me home I'm dying here, dying here Don't leave me alone I'm trying here, trying here Save me from the night Moon, walk me home Walk me home (Walk me home) (Walk me home) Save me from a wasted wish upon a star tonight If you wouldn't mind, moon, walk me home Walk me home

Daylight's coming soon Every eye's on me and you There's a last call ringing out, ringing out My heart's screaming now Could be uncool, a little rude To come right out and say I need you But it's the truth, you know it too So Imma come right out and say it I don't want to go home alone If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go home alone If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go My mind's whispering Spill your heart out while you can 'Cause it's a last call ringing out, ringing out My heart's screaming out Could be uncool, a little rude To come right out and say I need you But it's the truth, you know it too So Imma come right out and say it I don't want to go home alone If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go home alone If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go Home-home-home-home Home-home If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no Could be uncool, a little rude To come right out and say I need you But it's the truth, you know it too So Imma come right out and say it I don't want to go home alone If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go home alone If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go Home-home-home-home Home-home If you ain't coming with me, I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go Home-home-home-home Home-home If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go If you ain't coming with me, no I don't want to go

Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road tonight Make a left by the corner store, go somewhere we've never been before We, we got plenty of time There's a place by the lemon trees we can sit all night making memories With the stars in our eyes It's getting late, but I'm still wide awake I just can't hit the brakes with you Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road, every moment's holy Baby, I've been waiting all my life to waste my time on you Take the long way home tonight Golden hour's afterglow, Fleetwood Mac's on the radio Singing sweet little lies Seats pulled back, and the moon is low, time moves fast, but we take it slow Now the world's outta sight It's getting late, but I'm still wide awake I just can't hit the brakes with you Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road, every moment's holy Baby, I've been waiting all my life to waste my time on you Take the long way home tonight (Long way home) I'm gonna take the long way home I'm gonna take the long way tonight Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road tonight

I will retire to the Salton Sea At the age of 23 For I'm starting to learn I may never be free But though I may never be free Fuck you and your money I'm tired of your money And I sit on the curb 'cause it's the prettiest night With no one else in sight You know I wore this dress for you These killer heels for you See the dark, it moves With every breath of the breeze

When I was just a boy My momma told me, "Son You look so serious" (Smile and have some fun) When I was 17 My father let me know "Life isn't fun and games" (Gotta sell your soul) I don't know how I ended up So close to where I started I went to war for peace of mind What was it for? I'm dancing on a tightrope No time to mess around, oh Just trying to let my mind go I'm never coming dow-ow-own I found a preacher man To help me understand What we are doing here (What comes after life) And now the years have passed Been to the moon and back And all I've realized (No one knows but me) I don't (he don't) know how (know how) I ended up So close to where I started I went (he went) to war (to war) for peace of mind What was it for? I'm dancing on a tightrope No time to mess around, oh Just trying to let my mind go I'm never coming dow-ow-own I'm never coming dow-own I'm never coming dow-ow-own Teachers always say, "Stay in between the lines" "Promise you'll be quiet if you can't say something nice" Doctors always say, "Take these pills for your health" But now I can't remember how to think for myself I'm dancing on a tightrope No time to mess around, oh Just trying to let my mind go, ha I'm never coming dow-ow-own I'm never coming dow-own I'm never coming down (-ow-own)

Here at the party I came to alone Ramblers are rambling, you stared at your phone I'll stick around if you stick around too I wanna know why you hide in your head Where do you go when you glide down the stairs? I'll stick around if you stick around too You and I break out just a matter of time There's a reason we don't live forever Reason we don't live forever You and I break out just a matter of time There's a reason we don't live forever Reason we don't live forever You and I You and I You and I You and I Waking with you in the home that we've made Dishes are dirty and bills to be paid I'll stick around if you stick around too You and I break out just a matter of time There's a reason we don't live forever Reason we don't live forever You and I break out just a matter of time There's a reason we don't live forever Reason we don't live forever You and I You and I You and I You and I You and I You and I You and I You and I Now that we're older with gray in our hair Holding your hand as we glide down the stairs I'll stick around if you stick around too You and I break out just a matter of time There's a reason we don't live forever Reason we don't live forever You and I break out just a matter of time There's a reason we don't live forever Reason we don't live forever You and I You and I You and I You and I
