lyrics

There I go I went and did it again
The loneliest boy at the ball
Finally thought that I was fitting in
But a worn out welcome is all
That ever greets me and my tired feet, my dull face and sunken eyes
Well I can tell that you’re tired and leaving but darling don't you do it tonight
No darling don't you do it tonight

The pastor’s out preaching on the edge of the town
He's talking about leaving
And I'm talking him out
I said father if you go then who will guide me
He said can't you see there ain't nothing behind me
There are people in this world that you will never get to see
Unless you go out and find them, so good look and be free
If you wanna play it safe die alone in one place
Well stay here, but I'm going to be something great

I went and scared them off again
My god they’re running for the hills
Well you can't you see there's something wrong with me
So cough up and give me the pills
And can you see it in my tired feet
My dull face and sunken eyes
Well I can tell that you are tired and leaving
Well go on and do it tonight
Yes go on and do it tonight

The pastor’s out preaching on the edge of the town
He's talking about leaving
And I'm talking him out
I said father if you go then who will guide me
He said can't you see there ain't nothing behind me
There are people in this world that you will never get to see
Unless you go out and find them, so good look and be free
If you wanna play it safe die alone in one place
Well stay here, but I'm going to be something great

I lost a lot
And now there’s something I misplaced
I'm growing older
And I am growing in distaste
I’m learning how to love ignoring my mistakes
Because I'm a selfish fuck you never should have taken in
Not giving gratitude
I live in solitude
I'm the one that you'll never replace
