Don't Think That I Can Stay

And restless hearts walking lonely down the snowy paths, street lines
Is this the part where the red light and the pale moon should sway in time?
Outside there's no music, wind blows as cars go by
It'd be so easy to run back to you tonight
And as long as you're still living a few shorts blocks away
Don't want my heart to go there, my feet to walk that way
Don't want my words to come out wrong
Every night just seems too long
I don't think that I can stay
Don't think that I can stay
Isn't life sweet and lovely when you know who's by your side
Don't got to ask the God above me where I should run and hide
And someone said time's a-wastin'
Well, I'm not nearly twenty-five
Should I feel alone and dead when I'm barely half alive
And as long as you're still living a few shorts blocks away
Don't want my heart to go there, my feet to walk that way
Don't want my words to come out wrong
But every night just seems too long
I don't think that I can stay
I don't think that I can stay
Even in the morning
You can't even see the signs
He can't walk on water
And you can't read between these lines
So why do you stay
When it seems so hard to breathe
From this dirt road to highways
His face is all you see
As long as he's still living
A few short blocks away
My heart will not go there
But my feet won't let me stay
