Don't Go and Die (revisited)

from I Can Do Anything Because Nothing Is Real by Ian Taylor

/

lyrics

Don't go and die I've been staying alive for you.
I know it's hard and the world can be far from the truth.
But darling please don't leave I've been waiting right here for you.

I walk these streets with my friends empty and alone.
We all get baptized by each passing street light on the way home.
And the grass may be greener but your voice is sweeter than any I've ever known.

Don't go and die I've been wasting my time for you.
My friend says it's fine, yea it'll all be alright, everything's cool.
And it's great that she feels that way but my feelings seem to be cruel.

Remember on the sofa when you spilled that soda and it ran all down my face. Then you drove me home and the moon followed us and we sang along to that tape. And I pinky promised I'd try my hardest to make it home for the holidays.

Don't go and die because personally I think that you're really neat.
And I hate it when you're gone and it's never any fun when you're not with me. And your car is old and beat but you just smile and say that you like the seats.

Don't go and die I've been staying alive for you.
I know it's hard and the world can be far from the truth.
But darling please don't leave I've been waiting right here for you.
