Lyrics:
I won't mistake you for problems with me
I won't let my moods ruin this you'll see
I won't take everything good and move it away
I won't be left dancing alone to songs from the past
Would you stay home and keep my memories warm with me?
Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me?
Well I know you're sad even though you say that you're not
Yeah I know you're scared even though you say that you're not
I won't get mad when you say things are getting too hard
I won't make all of your love so scared to come through our yard
I won't scream in my head and let it isolate me
I won't be left dancing alone to songs from the past
Would you stay home and keep my memories warm with me?
Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me?
Well I know you're sad even though you say that you're not
Well I know you're scared even though you say that you're not
Would you stay home and keep my memories warm with me?
Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me?
Well I know you're sad even though you say that you're not
I know you're scared even though you say that you're not
Well I know you're sad even though you say that you're not
I know you're scared even though you say that you're not

Trivia and Quotes:
“I'm sorta self-absorbed in that I filter all the emotions from my past relationships into those songs and lyrics. I've never really written a song for anybody before, but I wrote that for my dad; my step dad and my mom had been together for 15 years and they broke up when we graduated high school and they've been apart for five years or whatever. And just the way they still talk about each other, not even necessarily like I think they wanna be together - most times it's not even positive - there's just something about losing 15 years of somebody's company. There's music [they used to listen to] from that time from when I was a kid, and one night I was on the phone talking to him and he was listening to a song that I remember listening to on the way to Vancouver on a family vacation, and I just thought, god, to lose something that big and then still be listening to that music - because you know music can really drag you back - and I was so distracted the whole time on the phone. I was like, why is he listening to that? That is so depressing! And I wrote that song right away.” - Tegan in 2005
