I've been thinking for way too long
About how many times
I've thought through all this before
Been pacing circles on the floor
Inside of a suitcase, eating on a map
Oh, I wake up I don't know where I am
And I need to touch, but I can't promise you that much
'Cause what once was hot, by two gets colder
And three, I'm looking over my shoulder
Wondering, what will I miss
If I commit to this, and choose to stay?
Oh, you know that I would
You know that I would
If I could stay
Oh, you know that I would
You know that I would
I've been thinking that it can't be wrong
Just to see where it leads, it might even be fun
But hey, what happens when I'm gone?
So then again, I think I should forget the whole thing?
'Cause waiting on a letter or the phone to ring
Just slowly breaks you
As you wait for words you think will make you stay
Oh, you know that I would
You know that I would
If I could stay
Oh, you know that I would
You know that I would
So it seems I can do nothing for you baby
Like this I can do nothing for you baby
Oh, I know that I should hold on tight
And not let that girl out of my sight
If it's worth the wait
If it's not too late
Then it's not okay
To let her get away
Ah, but you know that I would
You know that I would
If I could stay
Oh, you know that I would
You know that I would
Oh, I know that I should hold on tight
And not let that girl out of my sight
But I just keep playing the same old tapes
If I knew the way to change
You know that I would
