Alvin Maker's Greensong Lyrics

Fighting to keep this alive

Constantly fighting to keep myself going

Dear friend, I haven't the slightest desire

To help keep you going



Keep to myself all the time

(Kid it's better that way)

Try to avoid all the lines

(But I can't help you stay)

And the things that they say

Fighting to keep this alive

Constantly fighting to keep myself going



Please don't run from your problems

You can't keep running

There's no place to go



As you escape from your life

This house becomes hollow and

All we can do is just wait

Sit here and wait for this train to arrive

I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes

Constantly giving into

These moments that just bring me down

Just bring me close enough to stay around

To stay around



Keeping to yourself is no way to stay alive

You can't fight what's coming

And all that you can do is sit back and realize we'll be there

Cuz you keep waiting for someone to save you

Embrace you and take you away

Far away

Take you so far from this place



Running away, so far away

Running away, so far away

I can't stay, I can't stay with you here

I can't stay, I can't stay with you here



As you escape from your life

This house becomes hollow and

All we can do is just wait

Sit here and wait for this train to arrive

I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes

Constantly giving into

These moments that just bring me down

Just bring me close enough to stay around

To stay around



But I won't stay around
