You know I find it hard to sleep when I'm sleeping by myself And I'm lying in the spare room Thinking I should be somewhere else You should know when we've been drinking We can sabotage ourselves Like smashing up the kitchen No, there's nothing that seems to help And I don't want to wake you up Tell you that I'm leaving town I already packed my stuff Can't go back now But the way you look brings me straight back down I don't want to wake you up right now I was ready to go, ready to go I don't want to wake you up right now I was ready to go, ready to go I don't want to wake you up right now You're breaking out the windows While I was tearing down the doors And now I'm picking up the ashtray That you threw against the wall 'Cause we take, and we take just a little more I have no idea what we're fighting for No we're standing right here outside your door Now I know, now I know And I don't want to wake you up Tell you that I'm leaving town I already packed my stuff Can't go back now But the way you look brings me straight back down I don't want to wake you up right now I was ready to go, ready to go I don't want to wake you up right now I was ready to go, ready to go I don't want to wake you up 'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you You feel like home, you feel like home 'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you You feel like home, you feel like home And I don't want to wake you up Tell you that I'm leaving town I already packed my stuff Can't go back now But the way you look brings me straight back down I don't want to wake you up right now I was ready to go, ready to go I don't want to wake you up right now (Can't live with you, I can't live without you) I was ready to go, ready to go I don't want to wake you up right now (Can't live with you, I can't live without you) I was ready to go, ready to go I don't want to wake you up right now
