Why stop when you’re leagues ahead and there’s no one at your back?
Or is there more to it than that?
Maybe we’ve all been losing track
I wouldn’t guess, I wouldn’t try, I wouldn’t know
I couldn’t watch the baying crowd, I couldn’t go

And now you’re going to stay
Even though that is a paradox to say
Just like the equinox
You’re here and miles away
And I mumble in vain
Even though we know that countless feel the same
Please don’t wake me
Please don’t make me
Do another day

Remember the forget-me-nots in the dugout by the field?
You held the summer still
With September on your heels
I wouldn’t linger on the voices on the phone
They always said he’ll never make it on his own

And now you’re going to stay
Even though that is a paradox to say
Just like the equinox
You’re here and miles away
And I mumble in vain
Even though we know that countless feel the same
Please don’t wake me
Please don’t make me
Do another day

That sinking feeling kicked in three steps from the house
But you get used to it with time
Chest out, chin up; as if there was any doubt
Calm as you like
Calm as you like

And now you’re going to stay
Even though that is a paradox to say
Just like the equinox
You’re here and miles away
And I mumble in vain
Even though we know that countless feel the same
Please don’t wake me
Please don’t make me
Do another day
