  • Funny how time slips away
    Looking at the cracks creeping across my face
    I remember the little kid living in here
    He'll be living here probably until I'm dead.

    Please don't leave me, baby
    Please don't leave me yet.

    Sitting in a box away from the world out there
    A world piled high with boxes just like this
    But please don't ever leave me alone in here
    Take me out, shake off the dust, shake off the fear.

    Please don't leave me, baby
    Please don't leave me yet.

    If you stay with me
    That don't mean we gotta stay the same
    If you stay with me
    Well baby, you and me we'll change the game

    Well I don't know the man that's livin' in my head
    'til you reach down and bring the light back in
    No, I don't know the man that's living in my head
    If I don't know the woman sleeping in my bed.

    Remember how we used to kiss, baby
    Kiss like it was everything?
    Remember how we used to love, baby
    Love like it was everything?

    You stay with me
    That don't mean we have to stay the same
    If you stay with me
    Well baby, you and me we'll change the game
    You stay with me
    I'll follow you and we can start again, baby

    I only got a minute or two to spare
    And I gotta whole damn life to fit in there
    So why waste time staring at the T.V. set?
    Like I got dreams to kill and people to forget

    Remember how we used to dance, baby
    Just like it was everything?

    You stay with me
    And that don't mean we have to stay the same
    You stay with me
    Baby, you and me can make the change
    You stay with me
    But that don't mean I wanna stay the same

    You stay with me
    Well baby, you and me we'll change the game Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
