Stay
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.
Speak, don't speak
Go, don't go
Damned if I do, damned if I know
Wait. Don't linger
Wait, down, slow
Stay for the open hand
Or let it all go
Young enough
To play the game
Old enough to know
It's all or nothing
Stay, don't stay
Go, don't go
Stay, don't stay
Go, don't go
Dust to dust
We all fall down
Runfor the hills
Until we're safe and sound
Are we young enough
To play the game?
Old enough to know
It's all or nothing?
Stay, don't stay
Go, don't go
Stay, don't stay
Go, don't go
Stay, don't stay
Go, don't go
It's all or nothing
Stay, don't stay
(All or nothing, all or nothing)
Go, don't go
(All or nothing, all or nothing)
Stay, don't stay
(All or nothing, all or nothing)
Go, don't go
