Lyrics

In life, just be alone, though you're a wanderin' soul And you got to move on from the squandered soil When you get what you came here for Will you leave in the dead of night? In the heart is a wall of horrors You're the undenied Can't return the sacred time you steal A fact betrays the way you feel And the sight delays the right to heal You decide to stay I didn't plan to stay long I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long) I didn't plan to stay long I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long) In the snake pit so long, I've got posters up (Stay long) Been defending so long, I don't know how to stop Heart, tell them what you came for Heart, tell them what you came for Heart, tell them what you've been daydreamin' about What the evening's about to Can't return the sacred time you steal A fact betrays the way you feel And the sight delays the right to heal You decide to stay long I didn't plan to stay long I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long) I didn't plan to stay long I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long) In the snake pit so long, I've got posters up (Stay long) I've been defending so long, I don't know how to stop I'm so afraid Tell them what you came for Heart, tell them what you came for Heart, tell them what you've been daydreamin' about What the evening's about to Ahh, ahh, ahh Ahh, ahh Tell them what you came here for (Oh, oh, oh, stay long) (Oh, oh, oh, stay long) (Oh, oh, oh, stay long) (Oh-oh-oh-oh, long)
