IF YOU STAY THEN I CAN'T GO

I don't like novocaine

I want to be afraid someday
To face the crowd with open eyes
To take my chances on the fly

The house you're building on the shore
Is beautiful but insecure
Still if you feel at home then know


If you stay then I can't go


I don't like novocaine
I don't want to quash the pain to start a game and play it safe and win it with a sense of shame
The house you're building on the rocks is beautiful but tends to fall

Still if you feel at home just know

If you stay then I can't go
