I don't wanna go out tonight, if you're staying at home
I don't wanna go out in the dark of the night and leave you alone
The air is getting heavy, I feel like a rolling stone
Weighing me down like the memory of a Minnesota winter when I'm far from home
The dark is getting deeper, I feel so far from home
Pulling me in like the memory of the feeling of the fear of being all alone
I don't wanna go out tonight, if you're staying at home
I don't wanna go out in the dark of the night and leave you alone
The rain is getting heavy, falling like a waterfall
Filling my shoes with the memories of me and you in Belfast in the fall
The rain is beating harder, here comes a cannonball
Flooding my veins, but the feeling is the same, being without you after all
I don't wanna go out tonight, if you're staying at home
I don't wanna go out in the dark of the night and leave you alone
If I gotta be alone tonight, I'll be praying for the morning light
I don't wanna be a moon in the sky where the sun don't shine
And the rain ain't nothing but the tears we cry tonight
