lyrics

There's no point in sticking around here any longer
It hurts to breathe
Every breath adds seconds to the agony

Should I go or should I stay?
Everyone tells me to wait
But you won't give me something to wait for

There's more reasons I should leave
Every day looks bleak to me
'Cause no one can give me what I need

I need a reason
I need a reason just to stay

But if you go you'll never taste chocolate chip pancakes
Or watch the sun set from Holt Hill again
But you could do it all tomorrow
If you just wake up one more time
So maybe stay another day
If only for the pancakes

The future's lost when just getting up takes all your effort
At what cost?
Hope is meant for those who have a beacon

"It gets better you will see"
What are these words worth to me
If I have to wait six years to get there?

You're asking me to stick it out, but suffering is here and now
And the promise of an end won't get me through

I need a reason
So I'll find a reason just to stay

'Cause if I go I'll never taste chocolate chip pancakes
Or watch the sun set from Holt Hill again
And I can do it all tomorrow
If I just wake up one more time
So I guess I'll stay another day
If only for the pancakes
