I would like to live forever
With you and me as all the people
All the roles would be defined
Here's the church, here's the steeple
But when I start to walk away
I panic when I speak

Don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave this place

Can't there be a trap door
When I finally have to go
I could just drop to the earth Through a hole in the floor
The further that I walk away
Brings more pain and fear

Don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave this place

Without you maybe I'd be dead
Without you maybe I'd have bled
All of the life out of me
So I guess I gotta figure out
How to break this chain
People can chop you up
'Til nothing remains
It's not that I'm unwilling
To strike out on my own

Don't make me leave
Oh, don't make me leave this place
