Walk across town,
Or take the cab somewhere far.
Face down with your headphones on,
Try to forget just who you are.
Sit alone at home,
Screen lights up your pale blue face.
Down the pills and leave no trace,
Try to forget just who you are.
I only want to follow,
I only want to run away.
I only want to stay right here,
Stay.
Sip another whiskey alkaline,
Or down another cigarette.
Tell yourself you know who you are,
Do you know who you really are?
Stare into the skyline,
Lose yourself in city lights.
Never ask just who you are,
Tеll yourself you know who you are.
I only want to follow,
I only want to run away.
I only want to stay right herе,
I only wanna stay.
I only want to follow,
I only want to run.
I only want to stay right here,
Stay right here.
I knew what I signed up for,
I only want to stay right here.
Stay right here,
Stay.

Walk across town,
Or take the cab somewhere far.
Face down with your headphones on,
Try to forget just who you are.
Sit alone at home,
Screen lights up your pale blue face.
Down the pills and leave no trace,
Try to forget just who you are.
I only want to follow,
I only want to run away.
I only want to stay right here,
Stay.
Sip another whiskey alkaline,
Or down another cigarette.
Tell yourself you know who you are,
Do you know who you really are?
Stare into the skyline,
Lose yourself in city lights.
Never ask just who you are,
Tеll yourself you know who you are.
I only want to follow,
I only want to run away.
I only want to stay right herе,
I only wanna stay.
I only want to follow,
I only want to run.
I only want to stay right here,
Stay right here.
I knew what I signed up for,
I only want to stay right here.
Stay right here,
Stay.
