The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't wanna go home

Don't bring the lights up, don't ring the bell

Once the whistle has blown

God only knows when we'll meet here again

Tell the band not to stop

Tell the curtain, don't drop

Keep the barstool king high on his throne

I don't wanna go home

Don't wanna leave till it's all said and done

Guess I should have known

I'd want to stay until we'd seen the sun

It's just the moment to make this perfect mistake

Until we spend hours alone

I don't wanna go home

It's a matter of fact

You can never look back

It's a lesson that some never learn

But I won't forget it

I won't be caught treading

On the bridges that I myself burned

It's a matter of fact

You can never look back

It's a lesson that some never learn

But I won't forget it

I won't be caught treading

On the bridges that I myself burned

I don't wanna go home!

I've been gone forever, I don't wanna face

All the punches I've thrown

And all the wounded who fueled my escape

Tell the band not to stop

Tell the curtain, don't drop

Keep the barstool king high on his throne

'Cause somewhere in the dark

There's a well-broken heart

Who's willing to cast the first stone

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go home

No, I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go home!

No, I don't wanna go home

Nah, I don't wanna go home

I don't want to go home

So don't bring the lights up, don't ring the bell

'Cause I don't want to go home

God only knows when we'll meet here again

I don't wanna go home

No, I don't want to go home

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go home...
