If You Stay Then I Can’t Go

I don't like novocaine
I want to be afraid someday
To face the crowd with open eyes
To take my chances on the fly

The house you're building on the shore
Is beautiful but insecure
Still, if you feel at home, then know
If you stay, then I can't go

I don't like novocaine
I don't want to quash the pain
To start a game and play it safe
And win it with a sense of shame

The house you're building on the rocks
Is beautiful but tends to fall
Still, if you feel at home, just know
If you stay, then I can't go
