O God
I know how this part goes
We'll call it casual
You'll say that's fine with you
You like to keep things loose
But then some time will pass
I know you'll tire of it
You want me carved in stone
You want the best of it

O god
I can't stay I won't stay for things left unseen
I can't stay I won't stay I know you're a dream
A sweet sweet dream

You think you've seen one girl
So you've seen every girl
You know her breath will catch
And how her fingers curl
Around a gnawing hope
She'll find a love that burns
I've seen a hundred backs
But never one return

O god
I can't stay I won't stay for things left unseen
I can't stay I won't stay I know you're a dream
A sweet sweet dream

O god
I can't stay I won't stay for things left unseen
I can't stay I won't stay the end has no means
I can't stay I won't stay I know you're a dream
A sweet sweet dream
You're a dream
But not my dream
