You Can't Stay Here

You Can't Stay Here

Lyrics and Music by Andrew Weiss

I wanna be one of those men who they talk about in a museum

They'll just smile and say how nice I am

I wish I had a name people liked to say, so I could hear them talk more often

About the good I do, and the bad I don't

And I'd watch from a front row seat, and make sure no one else could see me

And I'd see for myself, who believes in ghosts

Maybe I'd get myself too attached, to a girl who says she likes me

And I'd try my best, not to complicate this

But she'd say, You can't follow me where I'm going

I'd say, I'm not too proud to go back home

Well, I don't know how to reach you, I'm not good at being alone

But you can't stay here

Hold on, you just can't stay here

Well I know, but you can't stay here

The only ones who make it out of here are the ones who know what it takes

But you should never play the card that could win the whole game

Cause if you did this would all be over, and that would be a shame

But maybe that would fix everything

She said, You can't follow me where I'm going

I said, I'm not too proud to go back home

Well, I don't know how to reach you, I'm not good at being alone

But you can't stay here

I know that you can't stay here

Well hold on, you just can't stay here

As I sit here next to the cowboys and all the past presidents

I still find myself wanting more

The security guard walks towards me, with his walking stick in his hand

And he can't help himself for starting a war

He said, You can't stay here

I know that you can't stay here

Well hold on, you just can't stay here
