I would like to live forever 
With you and me as all the people 
All the roles would be defined 
Here's the church, here's the steeple 

But when I'm finally yanked way 
I panic when I speak 
Don't make me leave 
Oh, don't make me leave 
Oh, don't make me leave 
This place 

Can't there be a trap door 
When I finally have to go 
I could just drop to the earth 
Through a hole in the floor 
The further that I walk away 
Brings more pain and fear 
Don't make me leave 
Oh, don't make me leave 
Oh, don't make me leave 
This place 

Without you maybe I'd be dead 
Without you maybe I'd have bled 
All of the life out of me 

So I guess I got to figure out 
How to break this chain 
People can chop you up 
Till nothing remains 
It's not that I'm unwilling 
To strike out on my own 
Don't make me leave 
Oh, don't make me leave 
Oh, don't make me leave 
This place
