And restless hearts walking lonely down the snowy paths, street lines Is this the part where the red light and the pale moon should sway in time? Outside there's no music, wind blows as cars go by It'd be so easy to run back to you tonight And as long as you're still living a few shorts blocks away Don't want my heart to go there, my feet to walk that way Don't want my words to come out wrong Every night just seems too long I don't think that I can stay Don't think that I can stay Isn't life sweet and lovely when you know who's by your side Don't got to ask the God above me where I should run and hide And someone said time's a-wastin' Well, I'm not nearly twenty-five Should I feel alone and dead when I'm barely half alive And as long as you're still living a few shorts blocks away Don't want my heart to go there, my feet to walk that way Don't want my words to come out wrong But every night just seems too long I don't think that I can stay I don't think that I can stay Even in the morning You can't even see the signs He can't walk on water And you can't read between these lines So why do you stay When it seems so hard to breathe From this dirt road to highways His face is all you see As long as he's still living A few short blocks away My heart will not go there But my feet won't let me stay
