lyrics

an ocean with no shore
a hallway full of locked doors
no water or walls could launch a discourse

a vacancy in place and time
a song from 1999
was it years long ago, or was it last night?

I can remember all the photographs
on my bedroom wall
but I can't find the people
in the frames in there at all

but it's alright

so won't you stay with me
and help me find a way out
'cause I can't be alone now
won't you stay with me
and help me find a way out
help me find a way out

those places in my head are gone
hardwood floors and front lawns
now, I'm trying to get right the things I got wrong

I'm the last song in a hazy bar
I'm a lost dog chasing cars
running 'round in circles 'til it gets dark

I think I'm destined to forever come up
just a little short
If I can't find the feeling
or the time that this deserves

but it's alright
I'll be alright

so won't you stay with me
and help me find a way out
'cause I can't be alone now
won't you stay with me
and help me find a way out
help me find a way out

I'm always stuck in daytime
traffic in my mind
trying to find a better route
because I'm just a bit behind
how can I expect to give away
my Undivided Attention
when I can't escape myself

so won't you stay with me
and help me find a way out
'cause I can't be alone now
won't you stay with me
and help me find a way out
help me find a way out
