Stay What You Are (Lyrics)

Well, I could wax political, reek of nostalgia It's all too typical to burn out or fade away Preach poetic until the amnesia sets in Because what's more pathetic, played out or overplayed? Can't slow down is an anthem But like me that sentiment has grown tired We're never as cool as we are in our former lives I am what I am so stay what you are Well, I could wax symbolic, fall flat ironic With the empty causes that left me high and dry Or plead innocent when we're guilty as sin Of running in circles and playing it safe Your last word spoken still echos The first words sung in my first car Ever the fool when we're young and we feel alive I am what I am so stay what you are A rival city is where I met you And who would've known you'd steal heart The minutes we make hold us tight when we're apart I am what I am so stay what you are
