Why Do I Stay?

Download as mp3

Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
I’ve been lazy, I’ve been afraid

Got stuck for way too long
It was the way that I let it all float along
I got it wrong
Didn’t sing my song

I gave up all that’s right
To what I wasn’t even wanting without a fight
Got caught up tight
I lost clear sight

Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm…

Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
I’ve been crazy, been insane

Laid in walls horizontal
I got water underneath the dollar and let it flow
Now where’ll I go
To I don’t know

Now I can change it all
My mind is rolling like a line of drummers beat it out
I like that sound
So big and round

Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm… Hmmmm…

Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
Why do I stay where I don’t belong?
I can’t stay no more I’m gone
