The Fear of Standing Still

The sky today was an extra special shade of lonely

The birds have all flown south and looks like winter's on its way

I'm stuck here on an airplane outside of Cincinnati

With the last words I heard this morning ringing in my ear

Don't go, please stay

Whatever's waiting on you way out there, can wait another day

There'll always be a song to sing, another show to play

Don't go, please stay

The road's been calling my name as long as I remember

Behind the wheel was the closest thing I've ever come to calling home

That was until I met you, kid, and finally found some purpose

You cured me of a sickness that I never knew I had

Don't go, please stay

Whatever's waiting on you way out there can wait another day

There'll always be a song to sing, another show to play

Don't go, please stay

You taught me there was more to life than a constant state of motion

Introduced me to the fine art of staying in one place

So when the fear of standing still asks if I like the path I've chosen

I find the answers in the corners of the smile on your face

Don't go, please stay

Whatever's waiting on you way out there can wait another day

There'll always be another song to sing, another show to play

Don't go, please stay

Don't go, please stay
