I'm stuck in the library, I am stuck in where I was
I am stuck inside a lack of light, the shadow of our love,
Take my brain on the plane with you, remember who I am
While my body buries keepsakes in the dry midwestern land

Now the past is spent, this passing tense has happened
And what happens now will make us out, will fasten us down
I will keep your place and cut and paste what you might want some day
And I can't keep you around, but I can keep up this town while you're away

Please don't go, I love you so
And if you leave, this won't be home

I'm stuck in the midwest, I am stuck in second place
Depending on the way the USA around you seems to face
Take my heart to Hyderabad, let it take in all the sun
That disappears in our dark hemisphere, the opacity we're from

Now the past is spent, this passing tense has happened
And what happens now will make us out, will fasten us down
I will keep your place and cut and paste what you might want some day
And I can't keep you around, but I can keep up this town while you're away

Please don't go, I love you so
And if you leave, this won't be home

I am sad I have to stay
But I'm not sad I feel that way
I'm not sorry for forever wanting more,
I'm not sorry for this pain, that I don't like the way things change

Please don't go, I love you so
And if you leave, this won't be home
