Lyrics
Walking through the trees
I never really know what's on your mind
Is it ever me, or just someone you've left behind?
Floating through a dream
I never could make out the words you said
Sentences are bouncing back and forth inside my head

You don't have to leave
You could just stay here with me
Forget all the party police
We can find comfort in debauchery

Fighting through the fog
I can't believe it rained all summer long
When every day's a hurricane
You know there's something wrong
I see you every day
It's hard to figure out what happens next
I cannot decipher conversation in your head

You don't have to leave
You could just stay here with me
Forget all the party police
We can find comfort in debauchery
You don't have to leave
You could just stay here with me
Forget all the local police
We can find comfort in biology

We wrote our names on the overpass
And I hope it lasts forever
Don't have to
You don't have to

You don't have to leave
You could just stay here with me
Forget all the party police
We could find comfort in debauchery
You don't have to leave
You could just stay here with me
Forget all the local police
We could find
If you don't want to, you don't have to
