I Don't Want You To Stop

from You Took Me Here EP by Rowan Lewis

/

lyrics

You live out in the east, and I live out in the west, now
Both of us moved on, grew too far apart
Too far apart

You keep yourself safe and wound up tight
And I let loose every night
Every night

And I've had years of patience to think on
Everything that's happened back home since we've been gone
'Cos you hate airports
But you hugged me in one
And you hate change
So where's your ring gone?

Where's your ring gone, now?

I've been breathing this smog for decades
Used to have it, kicked the habit tonight
Kicked it tonight

I think I've died, I think I've died
I can see every star in a once-flat sky
Everybody's got favourites - you're mine

'Cos I've had years of wondering if I fit wrong
But I slot in somehow and I belong
You hate trying new stuff
Not for long
And you hate mistakes
So where's your ring gone?

Where's your ring gone, now?

I'm sorry that I'm crazy
But I'm not gonna stop

But you don't want me to stop
And you spill your guts:
"Oh, I don't want you to stop
Oh, I don't want you, want you, want you to stop"

(And I've had years)

And I've had years of patience to think on
Everything that's happened back home since we've been gone
'Cos you hate airports
But you hugged me in one
And you hate change
So where's your ring?

And I've had years of wondering if I fit wrong
But I slot in somehow and I belong
You hate trying new stuff
Not for long
And you hate mistakes
So where's your ring gone?

Where's your ring gone, now?
(Where's your ring gone?)
Where's your ring gone?
