The sun casts its shadow, yeah it's time to go
I can stay a little but really not too long
Signs of the nightlife start to turn on
I've got to get out of the city before I drink myself numb
Get away, yeah, yeah, yeah
I suppose I could stay but haven't you seen enough
Play it back tomorrow just the same as it was
This love will betray you and leave you standing alone
So if you ask me I'll say to stay home
Get away, yeah, yeah, yeah
All these choices offered me, going through them constantly
Take the ones you want or leave them be
Sidewalks with their danger signs tempt the body and the mind
Stay away from them if you can
And it gets me every time
What I tried to leave behind
And it gets me every time
What I tried to leave behind
In the downtown sirens call, listen to them sing their songs
They all linger in your ears
Sidewalks with their danger signs temp the body and the mind
Stay away from them if you can
And it gets me every time
What I tried to leave behind
And it makes me wonder why you ever
Wanted me to be your lover
Now I can't go back to you again
