Driving through the city
As I look out through the window
Wonderin what it's like to be sleepin' on the outside
Watch me take a picture of the place that I grew up in
Sorry mister, thought you look like someone I remember
Someone I remember
Look at him still walking
Like he knows somebody's watchin'
If I try to talk to him I wonder if he'll know me
C'mon say "Hey baby" won't you take a ride in my car
Maybe you can show me how we lost what we believe in

Just let me stay here
I'm running from I don't know
Just let me stay here the night
I won't hurt you
Don't stop me
Just let me stay a while
Just let me stay here for life

I know it's been a while and the years have been unfaithful
Is there nothing left of me that even looks familiar
Everything was easy when we thought we had the answer
Why you lookin' at me like I'm from another planet

Just let me stay here
I'm running from I don't know
Just let me stay here the night
I won't hurt you
Don't stop me
Just let me stay a while
Just let me stay here for life

Ooo eeee Oh
My lo say no
May you can let me in
