You won't give me any lines So I'll connect the dots You've got quitting on your mind You have fleeing in your thoughts That are mired in the past They cannot hurt us The present is ours It would not desert us The future is vast It makes you nervous I'm in love with you That's the only rule That we have to follow So sweetie Why not stay So sweetie Why not stay I hope for the best You expect the worst My heart is sailing west Yours is waiting in the hearse But I am not so tender You are not so tough You're in love with me I thought that was enough The past is a tome And it's poorly worded The future is hung It gives no verdict The future is vast And far from perfect I'm in love with you That's the only truth That we have to swallow So sweetie Why not stay So sweetie Why not stay So sweetie Why not stay So sweetie Why not stay Why not stay (Stay) You won't have to go home You won't have to be alone You will have to be mine, all mine, all mine So here we go into the past
