I Can’t Stay Here Anymore

Take me away from here, it's getting too dark
And the sun could get brighter with the light of a spark
I've got one in my pocket and it's keeping me down
I keep your picture in a locket just to turn me around
In this town, on the ground

I found a postcard from an elegant place
If I could be there right now I wouldn't cover my face
I'd make twenty new friends and we'd start up a gang
I'd sell my clothes to make ends and go out with a bang
The old slang that you sang

Had me dreaming about a life that I could never attain
And if I didn't have a wife then I could never explain
How I got into this state and I can't seem to escape
I tried arranging all my thoughts and then recording to tape
But your shape cannot break

If you wanna break me
You know you've got that
Only one look from you could save me
I can't stay here anymore
I don't know how to let go

Take me away from here, it's getting too bright
And I'm looking for a tunnel at the end of the light
I've got none in my pocket and it's sending me up
So I throw away the locket and I fill up my cup
It's enough to play tough
