Fighting to keep this alive

Constantly fighting to keep myself going

Dear friend, I haven't the slightest desire

To help keep you going


Keep to myself all the time

(Kid it's better that way)

Try to avoid all the lines

(But I can't have you stay)

And the things that they say

Fighting to keep this alive

(Kid it's better that way)

Constantly fighting to keep myself going

(But I can't have you stay)


Please don't run from your problems

You can't keep running, there's no place to go


As you escape from your life 

This house becomes hollow

And all we can do is just wait

Sit here and wait for this train to arrive 

I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes

Constantly giving into these moments

That just bring me down

Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around


Keeping to yourself is no way to live your life

You can't fight what's coming

And all that you can do is sit back and realize, we'll be there

Cause you keep waiting for someone to save you

Embrace you and take you away, far away

Take you so far from this place


Running away, so far away

Running away, so far away

I can't stay, I can't stay with you here

I can't stay, I can't stay with you here


As you escape from your life 

This house becomes hollow

And all we can do is just wait

Sit here and wait for this train to arrive 

I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes

Constantly giving into these moments

That just bring me down

Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around


But I won't stay around
