Stay Where You Are

"stay where you are.... i don't mind kissin in the dark" thats what she said to me at some strangers party

she tore a piece from her yellow dress and then wrapped it around my wrist
said "don't ever forget that you were part of this"

we play the prey losing face at nameless games

the guests they meet and greet the streets
some got that look of pure defeat
while inside the music drones
i guess i'll walk you home
we're steppin slow and kickin stones
pouring liquor down our throats
and all of this in hopes of forgettin what we know

we play the prey losing face at nameless games
and i bury hope down empty roads no one ever goes
while she plays the ghost haunting those familiar homes

some roots took hold
i never made my way back home
some secrets are never told
they die on dirt roads

we play the prey losing face at nameless games
and i bury hope down empty roads no one ever goes
while she plays the ghost haunting those familiar homes

i heard them saying while all the trees were swaying "don't move"
