[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
