A Story to Tell Your Friends

Seems like every time you come back home
We've had our share of fights
Don't go away again

And now I'm left here in the wake of something more
Tonight you'll cry yourself to sleep
Than a single tear rolling down her cheek, whoa

Don't go away again

Seems like every time you come back home
Seems like every time you come back home
It's getting hard, I know, believe me I feel you
And hold you so high
I wanna be more than a story to tell your friends
Don't go away again
I wanna be more than a story to tell your friends
It's just to steal my heart and leave

And time will always stand between us
Don't go away again

Like you have your life planned out back home
She made it hard to leave as she stood by the door
It's just to steal my heart and leave
I wanna be more than a story to tell your friends
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again
It's just to make me fall again

So don't go away again
I wanna be more than a phone call at 4 a.m.
I wanna be more than a phone call at 4 a.m.
As I lay awake in some far off city
In a V-neck T-shirt and nothing more
Is it too much to ask, can't you just pick up the phone?

Just enough to watch you fade
I know it's not easy when I'm never home
Just seems like every time you come back home
Seems like every time you come back home
Eyes wide open, dreaming of you
I wanna be more than a phone call at 4 a.m.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again
Don't go away again
And I can't fall asleep knowing you're not home

Don't go away again
I have my own dreams
It's just to steal my heart and leave

Pretend you're lying next to me
I wanna be more than a phone call at 4 a.m.
It's just to steal my heart and leave, whoa, oh, oh
