Lyrics

Wouldn't You Rather Be with Me

V1
I saw you on that rain-soaked street
Walking endlessly
You could be where it’s nice and warm
Wouldn’t you rather be with me

V2
And a driver watches you wiping tears
Moving mindlessly
You could be where you belong
Wouldn’t you rather be with me

Chorus
I’m sure you’re sorry for the way you fled
Running off like you were scared of the dark
Leaving is not your only option
You know you could have stayed instead

V3
Now we're wide awake in that motel room
Just counting sheep
I should have counted my blessings baby
And you’d be here with me

Chorus
I am sure you’re sorry for the way you fled
Running off like you were scared of us too
I put my hopes in your hand rather than the usual fare
I somehow thought that would do

Solo
Bridge
I never felt outnumbered
But in fact, there were a hundred spies
And with them came a hundred lies
And I would gladly tell them all
If you would just come back to me

V4
We can’t work this out even if we talk it through
The way we behave so recklessly
You were either very good, or it was real
When you were here with me
Wouldn’t you rather be with me
Wouldn’t you rather be with me
