[Verse 1: Kory Bard] You're fine with this life That you gave yourself Studio apartment out in Bakersfield You got that job that you always wanted You're doing something & for that I'm proud But not me I'm still spending all my weekends with the palm trees Watching everybody accomplish sh- around me & I would just rather do nothing and be lonely & just watch all of this fade away It's my last night in town But you know that I would just stick around Cuz this has always felt so right I'm not going anywhere tonight Oh you've got me by the hook You did this all by the book I read you back I read you back That's why I [Hook: Kory Bard] I know you like long nights, candle lights I know that you're feeling right, through the night Cuz I'm right by your side, I'm right by your side I know you like long nights, candle lights I know that you're feeling right, through the night Cuz I'm right by your side, I'm right by your side I overthink enough to make my whole damn world blow up As my shadows get burned into the rough I burned enough of your stuff to disappear So that way when i'm gone they never knew You were here No the time doesn't matter If it's on our side You & i can still merge in our lives Oh [instrumental break] I'm not going anywhere tonight Oh you've got me by the hook You did this all by the book [Hook: Kory Bard]
