Borrowers - I Can't Stay Lyrics

When you walk into the room
You smile and they swarm around you
And I, entranced by your mood
I couldn't move, I couldn't move
I finally made my way to you
"Hey there. How do you do?"
Let's go out for a cigarette or two
Just me and you, just me and you
And I said, "If you find you realize
If you find you realize
That you want me holding on to you
I guess I do too"

I say three words
She smiles sweeter
It's easy this game
But your hair's too short
And I've grown so bored
It just isn't quite the same

Then all the words they come pouring out
She said it's not right or wrong to shout
I can't live my life through you

I can't stay
I tried but I just realized
I can't stay
I'm growing so tired these nights

We loved sweeter
Back when we wore sneakers
We grew up, we moved away
Something in her eyes
That no longer clicked right
And we know how hearts change

Then all the words they come pouring out
She said it's not right or wrong to shout
I can't live my life through you

I can't stay
I tried but I just realized
I can't stay
I'm growing so tired these nights

If I said three words
Would you smile sweeter?
It's easy... this game

You're just a cure for lonely nights
But I could never make you right
Are we drowning? drowning?
You're just a cure for lonely nights
You can't down your tears in wine
Are we drowning, drowning?

But if you find you realize
If you find you realize
That you want me holding on to you
I guess I do too
