Don't Play That Record Lyrics

I'm trying not to pray, but you're pulling on my pen

And I'm about to give in

I don't want to go and you don't want to stay

How can we say we will ever weather another day

Don't play that record

Don't put on your favorite song

Leave it in the paper sleeve

Leave it and I'll be gone

Don't play that record

I'll always hear you singing along

Beautiful and out of tune is a beautiful kind of love

Don't play that record

How could I not see that when you step out of the light

Your eyes adjust to the night

And my bitter Midwestern blood is falling in and out of love

With the loneliness of space

You can read it on my face

Don't play that record

Don't put on your favorite song

Leave it in the paper sleeve

Leave it and I'll be gone

Don't play that record

I'll always hear you singing along

Beautiful and out of tune is a beautiful kind of love

Don't play that record

I was following a river to the bottom of a bottle and I don't know why

I was drinking with the witch in the wall at the Lamb and we were 20 feet tall

I don't wanna go home

I don't wanna go home

Now I wanna go home

I don't wanna go home

Don't play that record

Don't put on your favorite song

Leave it in the paper sleeve

Leave it and I'll be gone

Don't play that record

I'll always hear you singing along

Beautiful and out of tune is a beautiful kind of love

Don't play that record
