Dont Think That I Can Stay

Restless hearts walking lonely down the snowy back street lines Is this the part where the red lights and the pale moon should sway in time? But outside there's no music The wind blows as cars go by It'd be so easy to run back to you tonight But as long as you're still living A few short blocks away Don't want my heart to go there My feet to walk that way Don't want my words to come out wrong But every night just seems too long I don't think that I can stay Don't think that I can stay And isn't life sweet and lovely when you know who's by your side Don't gotta ask the god above me Where I should run and hide But someone said "Time's a-wastin'" Well I'm not nearly twenty-five Should I fear a lonely death When I'm barely half alive But as long as you're still living A few short blocks away Don't want my heart to go there My feet to walk that way Don't want my words to come out wrong But every night just seems too long I don't think that I can stay Don't think that I can stay (whistles) Even in the morning You can't even see the signs He can't walk on water And you can't read between these lines So why do you stay when it seems so hard to breathe? From Stradbroke to highways His face is all you see And as long as you're still living a few short blocks away My heart will not go there But my feet won't let me stay
