I would like to live forever
Will you and me as all the people ?
All the roles would be defined
Here's the church, here's the steeple
But when I make the way ?
I start to panic and I speak
Don't make me leave
Ah, don't make me leave
Ah, don't make me leave
This place
Then there'll be trap door
And I'll finally have to get off
I could just drop to the earth
Through a hole in the floor
The further that I walk away
Things mope and fear
Don't make me leave
Ah, don't make me leave
Ah, don't make me leave
This place
Without you maybe I'd have bled
Without you maybe I'd be dead
Thrown all the life out of me
He he
I guess I got to figure out
How to break this chain
People can shut you up
Till another remains
It's not that I'm unwilling
To strike out on my own
Don't make me leave
Ah, don't make me leave
Ah, don't make me leave
This place
