Why
do I stay? by Svetlana
Things
go on with out me
Why do I stay?
Why don't I just pick up everything
and get the hell out of this
rinkydink town?
Amazingly enough I love it here
I hate the snow
I hate the cold
I hate the rotten roads
Why do i even think twice?
I love the people
The ones with hearts,
the ones who've lived here all their lives
I love the streets
I love knowing where I've been
Where i can get to
I love my teachers
I want my kids to gow up
Feeling the love of a rinkidink town
I want all my friends around
I want my family to be at my side
I don't want my kids to be alone
I want them to know my family
I want them to skate on the lake
early in the morning
I want to stay right where i am
I want to know my history
I want the people around me to share it with
Why don't I just go?
Fly away into the night?
Don't look back until you're out of sight?
I want to find my way back
