Stay put and let me unlock the gate I know it's too cold out I get it, I know I'm always up too late But my routines have seemed the same for years I know I'm difficult to figure out But don't sweat it if you're planning on skipping town I'm comparing lives to make you stay put Assimilate and recreate The stories which you continue to illustrate so well You're setting up a shock to sit still To where you're moving right along To when I can admit where I was wrong With what you haven't found You can draw your losses out To where the city just got a little colder now It's colder now To what you've worn out So I don't have much to offer Besides an old bike seat and some bad advice To keeping true with where we'd aged And translate sarcastic for being nice Stay put Assimilate or recreate And ride home To where you're moving right along To when I can admit where I was wrong To where it's what you had in mind To better suit your time Better suit your time With what you haven't found You can draw your losses out To where the city just got a little warmer now
