I know it's late and you're tired And we've been talking for hours here You don't have to tell me I see that look in your eyes And I know soon we'll say our goodbyes, oh yeah I feel it coming And I hear you take a deep breath And my hands are starting to sweat I don't want you to I don't want you to leave, yeah Stay here tonight, stay here tonight 'Cause when you're around me everything's right, don't go Oh, don't leave me alone Stay here tonight, stay here tonight I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, don't go I need you, I need you You grab your coat and I'm dying But I know that you're still deciding, yeah 'Cause nobody's moving Time stops and everything's quiet I'm hanging on for my life in you You don't even see it And then you come in closer And baby it's not over Till I hear you say, till I hear you say Goodnight, oh yeah!

I blew the dust out of the corners Threw some dead wood on the fire Tuned the radio to silence Watched the evening sun expire Should have called you up this morning But I'm such a fool at times I still search my shaving mirror Looking for your face with mine And I can't stay alone tonight Can't let another day go by Why is it always this way? Time never seems to really fly And time is never really on my side And I can't stay alone tonight Things have to change and they might But I can't stay alone tonight Chalk up one more crazy notion Imagination running wild But if I needed confirmation I would have gone that extra mile You're the last chance on the highway I'm that open stretch of road You're the diner in my rear-view A cup of coffee getting cold And I can't stay alone tonight Can't let another day go by Why is it always this way? Time never seems to really fly And time is never really on my side And I can't stay alone tonight Things have to change and they might But I can't stay alone tonight Bruised in this cold war of words We've come undone two loose ends alone Possessed by that curse you've endured The spell that I cast couldn't make you come home And I can't stay alone tonight Can't let another day go by Why is it always this way? Time never seems to really fly And time is never really on my side And I can't stay alone tonight Things have to change and they might But I can't stay alone tonight Things have to change and they might But I can't stay alone tonight

I'll stay here lying on your bed, Even for the rest of my days. With its side empty spaced, Where you once used to stay. Have you ever noticed the glimpses upstairs? These rooms are all that matter. And on the walls there's pictures screaming And ask me what I've done to seem So amused by the way of having done nothing today. They all have their eyes covered up with paint. Their room is all that matters. I can walk up the walls, But can't make water out of wine. So I'm desperate for some cold rain To wash those hands of mine. I'll stay here listening to the crowds And hear the footsteps and the shouts. But it's all passing me by, Tangled up in my own lie. Have I missed the clue of your brave escape? For this is what - you said - matters. Some other town, Some other day, Some other clown, Coming up her way. Some other town, Some other day, Some other clown, Coming up her way. Some other town, Some other day, Some other clown, Coming up her way. Etc.

The emotion, it was electric And the stars, they all aligned I knew I had to make my decision But I never made the time No, I never made the time In the dark For a while now I can't stay so far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home Exoneration lost its eraser But my forgiver found the sun And there are twisted days that I take comfort 'Cause I'm not the only one No, I'm not the only one In the dark For a while now I can't stay very far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home And there's a majesty at my doorstep And there's a little boy in her arms Now, we'll parade around without game plans Obligation or alarm In the dark For a while now I can't stay very far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home In the dark For a while now I can't stay so far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home In the dark
