Dave McPherson
"The Sweetest Regime"

One, two, three, four

Staying hungry, it's the only reason you don't starve
A little lonely, it's the only season they don't laugh
Alarm goes off and still resonates for days and dreams
Sipping bitter and sitting at the sweetest regime

You can't just jot down (You can't just jot down)
Everything inside your head
So why not crucify this serenade instead?
Too many tongues tied (Too many tongues tied)
Words are clogged up all inside
Reasons not to will only become reasons to regret

She is not your caretaker
She is not your heart maker
Your best friends are more than just a shadow away
But even your shadow can go astray

Won't you say, won't you say you'll stay? (Won't you say, say you'll stay?)
Oh, stay one day (Won't you say?)
Won't you say you'll stay at least for today? (Won't you say?)
Won't you say you'll stay?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (Won't you say?)
Won't you say you'll stay?
Will you stay?
Won't you?

Too many songs, they get lost, they get lost in the post
And all you seem to do is get worked up on people just like you
Scribble, scribble, scribble, little changes go such a long way
The smoke sustaining, it's raining little grey pieces every day

She is not your caretaker
She is not your heart maker
Your best friends are more than just a shadow away
But even your shadow can go astray

Won't you say you'll stay? (Won't you say, say you'll stay?)
Yeah, won't you say you'll stay? (Won't you say? won't you say, say you'll stay?)
Stay for today (Won't you say?)
Won't you say you'll stay? (Won't you say, say you'll stay?)
Won't you say you'll stay?
Stay, won't you stay?
