I saw her wait, waitng at the bus stop

Watching as her tears dropped 

Like pennies down a well 

Oh well

We can drink until the sun comes up

I never let a good thing go

So I'll stay here if you're not leaving



I am on your side

This house is empty

We could cross the line

And we could make a big mistake

The silence breaks and you hear me say

"Don't go, don't go so far away"

(You don't have to go)

"Don't go, don't go so far away"

You don't have to go



I saw your man, fast car and a dark suntan

You said he's in a punk-rock band

But baby, punk-rock's dead

Oh well

We can drink till you forget about him

It's not like he waits up for you

I'm sure he'd do the same thing too



But I am on your side

This house is empty

We could cross the line

And we could make a big mistake

The silence breaks and you hear me say

"Don't go, don't go so far away"

(You don't have to go)

"Don't go, don't go so far away"

You don't have to



I knew it was a crime

I did it anyway

I tell him we're like magnets

I tell him I feel no shame

If I crawl into your blood

Can I sleep under your skin?

C'mon let me in

Don't make me wait



I am on your side 

This house is empty

We could cross the line

And we could be making a big mistake

The silence breaks and you hear me say



"Don't go, don't go so far away" [x5]



You don't have to go

You don't have to go
