d o n ' t s t a y h o m e - 3 1 1

life could slip away in absent minded numbness
i'm only saying this cuz i wish for the best
when you always stay in self-incarceration
i think it's such a shame

don't stay home this time, no don't stay home
if he don't have to he don't want to
don't stay home this time, no don't say no

oh how i'd like to diffuse your time bomb anger
it's screaming danger danger
this kind of world wouldn't care if you're home
so you better get some

don't stay home this time, no don't stay home
if he don't have to he don't want to
don't stay home this time, no don't say no

everything i'm saying you can dismiss
because i sat alone on this past christmas
i deserved to be alone
but i guess i should've gone home

hey don't break the mold kid
just eat around it
yeah, that's what i did
i'll be running around the block for no apparent reason
something you'll catch me doing in any given season
gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out
biddy by by by by
goodbye to the drought, yea

don't stay home this time, no don't stay home
if he don't have to he don't want to
don't stay home this time, no don't say no
don't stay home this time, no don't stay home
if he don't have to he don't want to
don't stay home this time, no don't stay home

Act V. THE TRUTH. (Love is hard work. And, sometimes, hard work can really hurt.) Love is a game. If they didn't tell you before, we will tell you now. Love is a game and if you play you either win, lose, or get ejected before the game is over. There are no ties. Maybe you'll lose and learn some great, meaningful answer from it all (like if it looks to good to be true, it is). It's easy to love something when you don't have to work at it. It's harder when it asks something of you. You just might be afraid to give. Give it anyway. The heart is the most resilient muscle. It is also the stupidest. So if this love you've found is good to you, hold it, keep it, shout about it. If it isn't, then maybe you should just become very good friends.
