  • Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Hold your fire
    I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth
    I was trying to raise my roof
    Did you see it?
    That I needed to prove
    That my stinger always stays
    You said she's beautiful when she plays
    Did I hit you in the proper place?

    Oh, oh, suddenly

    I, oh well, I could live in this town
    Five cold years before I
    Yes, I could live in this town
    Before I head for home

    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    It's my turn
    With the spotlight burning a hole
    But my bird-heart's turning cold
    As the temperature rises all around
    To the sound of a ticking bomb
    And then it's not just showing off here
    You know there's something going on here
    Going on here

    Suddenly

    I, well, I could live in this town
    Five cold years before I
    Yes, I could live in this town
    Five cold years
    Yes, I could live in this town
    Five cold years before I
    Well, I could live in this town
    Before I head for home

    And considered it odd
    That I ever stayed, ever stayed
    That I ever stayed
    Ever stayed
    That I ever stayed
    Ever stayed
    That I ever stayed
    Ever stayed
    That I ever stayed (Ever stayed)

    You know that feeling you get
    When you don't want to leave
    That feeling you get when you don't want to leave
    That feeling you get when you don't want to leave
    That feeling when you don't want to leave

    Suddenly
    I, well, I could live in this town
    Five cold years before I
    Yes, I could live in this town
    Five cold years
    Yes, I could live in this town
    Five cold years before I
    Well, I could live in this town

    Before I head for home
    And considered it odd
    That I ever stayed Writer/s: KT Tunstall
