Stay

Feels like I'm running in circles
Stuck on the stairs between stories
I'm tired and I've ordered the same thing
But I can't stop thinking 'bout a one way ticket
I don't care if it rains every day where I'm going
I'd rather have an umbrella than be staring out the window

So tell me why I can't live my life this way
And tell me why I should stay

Sometimes I feel like a boxer
I just beat myself up
I can't let it be my fault I'm still here
I've been trying for months and failing for years
I just wanna get out of this place
And I'd hit the road with the change in my pocket
I don't care if it rains every day
I'd rather have an umbrella than be staring out the window

So tell me why I can't live my life this way
And tell me why I should stay
So tell me why I can't live my life this way
And tell me why I should stay

Maybe years from now I will see you in town
And I'll wonder why I ever tried to listen to you
And you'll notice me as you try to seem
Better than everything you bet that I would never be
Maybe years from now I will see you in town
And I'll wonder why I ever tried to listen to you
And you'll notice me as you try to seem
Better than everything you bet that I would never be

So tell me (And I'll wonder why I ever tried to listen to you)
And tell me (Better than everything you bet that I would never be)
So tell me why I can't live my life this way
And tell me why I should stay
