Intervention

How do you cope with this?
It ends with a curse, it began with a kiss
If I play it back again
And watch in reverse, you will find what you missed
But we are not like that now
I don't see the good, I don't think that I could
It seems we are not allowed
But maybe I would if I felt understood

I know I have turned you into someone
Who can turn us into
Monsters waiting for their turn
To strike each other down

I am feeling it all tonight

A cynic's a lonely man
Who laughs at the ones who're afraid to be alone
To show we are not like them
We stand on our own, and we're both all alone
Yeah we stand on our own and we're both all alone

I know I have turned you into someone
Who can turn us into
Monsters waiting for their turn
To strike each other down

I am feeling it all tonight
For once, let down your guard and be who you are deep down
And let the goodness transcend the means to an end we found

But we are not like that now
Stirring

Everyone turned around as the man
In the crowd whispered "oh my god
I can't believe they've done it"

I'm wishing that you were alive to see this
You're daughter makes me smile
Every time she says "I love you"
And I've noticed she sings herself to sleep
It makes me think that soon, maybe soon
This will all get easier

You'd be amazed how much I have to say to you these days

Can you stay a little while with me
Don't go, please don't go
Just stay a little longer now
Don't go, please don't go

I found myself walking around here at night
Just talking, pacing around
'Cause I'm not brave enough to stop yet
Right now I've got way too much to say
Just another couple days, and I'm sure I'll be feeling better

You'd be amazed how much I have to say to you these days

Can you stay a little while with me
Don't go, please don't go
Just stay a little longer now
Don't go, please don't go

Last night I awoke from a terrible dream
With a haunting and strange melody
Gaspard de la nuit sang the names of the dead
To the others who weeps in their beds

When I awoke, I reached for you
Yeah I still do sometimes

Can you stay a little while with me
Don't go, please don't go
Just stay a little longer now
Don't go, please don't go
