Stay Behind
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.
Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind
I don't wanna write a masterpiece
I don't want the world at my feet
I just wanna leave all my dreaming to dreaming
I don't wanna have to run, run, run, run
I just wanna fa-la-la-la
And sing it like the drumbeat is played back
And sleeping
Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind
Life is just begging to include you
But sometimes you just got to stay behind
Everybody wanna save the human race
But do I really gotta scrape the night away
Just put me on a jet plane and
Send me off to outer space
Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind
Life is just begging to include you
But sometimes you just got to stay behind
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do, yeah
And just kick it with your head in the clouds
And stick it to the guys downtown
And just play another song
Ooh-whoa
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Yeah (yeah)
Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind
Life is just begging to include you
But sometimes you just got to stay behind
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
