"Stay Behind" lyrics

"Stay Behind"

Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind

I don't wanna write a masterpiece
I don't want the world at my feet
I just wanna leave all my dreaming to dreaming
I don't wanna have to ra-ra-ra-ra
I just wanna fa-la-la-la
And sing it like the drumbeat is laid back
And sleepy

Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind
Life, it's just begging to include you
But sometimes you just got to stay behind

Everybody wanna save the human race
But do I really gotta scream in that parade
Just put me on a jet plane and
Send me off to outer space

Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind
Life, it's just begging to include you
But sometimes you just got to stay behind

Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do, yeah

And just kick it with your head in the clouds
And stick it to the guys downtown
And just play another song

Ooh-whoa
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Yeah (yeah)

Time, it doesn't stop to ask you
Why you choose to stay behind
Life, it's just begging to include you
But sometimes you just got to stay behind

Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
