about

Two lonely people can sometimes talk themselves to a standstill, where the only thing left unsaid is obvious, but never gets said. Where finally one goes home, not because they wanted to, but because there's nothing else left to do. Neither with the courage to make the move.

lyrics

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO HOME

Tragic patience you display, will you deign to look my way
I guess I should explain it, though, expect it hardly matters if you know

You don't have to go home
You don't have to spend another night alone
(You don't have to go home)
You don't have to go home
We don't need to live in a mindless stone
You don't have to go home

Why you stay I cannot tell, should I sway you with hard-sell
Instantly my prospects soared, now you've mastered looking bored
Weight of silence hard to bear, you just give a vacant stare
I go on rambling, you're amazed, I don't catch on 'cause I am fazed

You don't have to go home
You don't have to spend another night alone
(You don't have to go home)
You don't have to go home
We don't need to live in a mindless stone
You don't have to go home

Irretrievably faux pas, talk was where I'd been a star
Desperate for relief that's due, I couldn't say I thought you knew
Slow to sink into my head, realized with loads of dread
I blew my rave and so the night, you can't save me from my plight

You don't have to go home
You don't have to spend another night alone
(You don't have to go home)
You don't have to go home
We don't need to live in a mindless stone
You don't have to go home

You don't have to go home
You don't have to spend another night alone
(You don't have to go home)
You don't have to go home
We don't need to live in a mindless stone
You don't have to go home
