Please Stay

You’re not the only one who can leave;

Sometimes we all dream of running.

You’re just the only one who goes;

That back-turned silhouette sure is stunning.

People really like you, can’t you tell?

Its hell, watching you pack up

-Like you, until you work them over –

You’re making the rest of us feel stuck.

No, no I don’t want to talk about it,

The only thing you know is to muddle.

If I ever actually need your help,

Then I’ll know I’m really in trouble.

Oh my dear, I’ve been right here for years;

A panting puppy waiting at the arrivals.

You know just how to manipulate:

All it takes is that infamous smile.

Well I’m sorry that you feel this need;

I guess the rest of us aren’t good enough.

Goodbye again, pursue your elusive dreams…

Yeah sure, I’ll hold your stuff.
