you've built it so well
so that no one could tell
the pieces were never yours to begin with

pretend i'm older
like you need my shoulder
and i could hold you like you need someone to

you're on the phone
your voice is so clear
and i can almost feel it
your breath on my ear

but you're still unsure
there's no map for this tour
and you'd hate to pack up everything
for another bad trip

just stay for awhile


the wrong directions
made you some connections
your friends didn't need to shove you about

this is what you need
a little time to speed
and maybe even the chance to crash and burn

so close the door
and do what you do
someone somewhere is having a
better time than you

and you're still not sold
it's no time to be bold
because this is serious business
what don't i understand?

just stay for awhile
