I've been out all night in the cold
On my way with no where to go

I met you up on a building said, "I'm thinking about jumping
'Cause god knows I'll never land
I never have"
You said, "Let me tell you something about the world dear boy
You'll lose it before you win
And there's nothing wrong with that"

Darling you don't have to leave
But you'll stay so numb when you're with me

Could be worse and it might
You never know what you're gonna get
But I'm alive even if only by water, sleep, and cigarettes

Darling you don't have to be
The one who stays so numb when you're with me
Stays so numb when you're with me

When you were better off just driving away from me
You never did the things you should
I knew one day you wouldn't come for me
Never thought it would be so soon, so soon

But now I'm begging you to stay
So numb when you're with me
Stay, so numb when you're with me
