Illinois

[Verse 1]
Here are the woods where you would hide
From everyone you would avoid
They've been cut down into paper
For some school in Illinois
Here is your car you used to drive
Died in the wreck to keep you alive
You’ve got angels looking after you
And you're begging them

[Chorus]
Don't leave the room
’Cause I still need you
And I will pull through
I'll be okay, won't you stay?
Don't leave the room, no

[Verse 2]
Fighting back the urge to yell
You tell your friends you're doing swell
Your journal disagrees
And your peers, oh they don't believe you
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
The lifeguard will keep you from drowning
You’re not alone in this pool you’re swimming
The lifeguard will keep you afloat

[Chorus]
Don't leave the room
’Cause I still need you
And I will pull through
I'll be okay, won't you stay?
Don't leave the room, no

[Bridge 1]
You were right there next to me
I wasn’t ever next to you

[Bridge 2]
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
The lifeguard will keep you from drowning
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
The lifeguard will keep you from drowning
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
(Here are the woods where you would hide
From everyone you would avoid)
The lifeguard will keep you from drowning
(They've been cut down into paper
For some school in Illinois)
You're not alone in this pool you're swimming
(Here is your car you used to drive
Died in the wreck to keep you alive)
The lifeguard will keep you from drowning
(You've got angels looking after you
And you're begging them)

[Chorus]
Don't leave the room
'Cause I still need you
And I will pull through
I'll be okay, won't you stay?
Don't leave the room, no
