Compass

If you're running from yourself
You're never gonna get too far.
No, I've been trying that forever
And I've only lost heart so far.
So I'm looking for home,
But I can't remember where home is.
And I wasn't alone
When I learned what loneliness is.
So could you be my compass?
You don't have to stay long;
Just until I find my way again.
Could you be my compass?
If you say you'll never leave
Then I'll never ever leave again.
If you tell her that you'll catch her,
Then you'd better catch her when she falls.
I used to mean so many things;
Now I don't mean a thing at all.
I've been looking for you;
Now I wonder if you ought to go.
And I'll try to make you leave,
But I never want to be alone.
So could you be my compass?
You don't have to stay,
But I gotta say I wish you would.
Could you be my compass?
If you tell me that you can't,
Then I don't think that anyone could.
I'm looking for home,
But I don't know what home is.
And I couldn't be alone
To really learn what loneliness is,
But I don't feel that way with you.
So could you be my compass?
You don't have to stay long;
Just until I find my way again.
I believe that you are honest;
If you say you'll never leave,
Then I'll never ever leave again.
Could you be my compass?
If you say you'll never leave,
Then I'll never ever leave again.
No, don't tell me that you'll leave;
I'm never gonna leave again.
