Get dressed in your bed, while she’s asleep It isn’t right, but it isn’t hard Tell me, tell me, won’t you understand? Show me, show me, show me a better plan It’s summer lies, it’s someone else’s nothing Here it comes now You ask me to stay You ask me to stay You ask me to stay But there’s a million reasons to leave Find a job, find a friend Find a home, find a dog Settle down, out of town Find a dream, shut it down Please, please don’t point it that way It’s just a trigger that goes once and you’ll be unafraid I wish that I’d been noticed, but it never goes that way The silence that you brought has gone, gone, gone Tell me, tell me, won’t you understand? Show me, show me, show me You ask me to stay You ask me to stay You ask me to stay But there’s a million reasons to leave Show me what to say, show me what to be Show me what to see, show me what to be Find a job, find a friend Find a home, find a dog Settle down, out of town Find a dream, shut it down I don’t wanna be in there with you I don’t wanna be in there without your loving either I waited for your thoughts Can’t wait no longer
