For all the love we've made 
Just one thing stays the same 
The lamp gets dusty 
The pipes get rusty 
But I don't wanna wash my hands clean 

Well you say you love me too 
Then why won't you go through 
With the nightly kisses
With the hits and the misses 
Well if you can make it on your own...

Then go if you want to go
But stay if you want to know the way 
Through the mess we've made
Or lie in the bed you know or go 

I heard your moving van
But I did not take a stand 
You can't leave with 'em 
You can't leave without 'em 
I never thought I'd want to let you... 

Go if you want to go
Or stay if you want to know the way 
Through the mess we've made
Or lie in the bed you know or go
