[Verse 1]
Took a drive out to Little Tokyo in a four-by-four
I need a little while to feel like living
Walked a quarter mile from a parking spot 'til we saw the shore
Clocked a little bar with a shallow ceiling
[Chorus]
They said, "Stay awhile"
We at the best part of wasting time
You're in denial
I'm not talking 'bout a river
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, babe, where'd the time go?
Yeah, you're singing me your favorite karaoke song
No better time than the present mind
Ooh, baby, if I sang along with you
[Verse 2]
Would you read what you planned? Say what you said to me?
[1:03][?]
'Cause whatever the feeling, it's sinking in
And the timing you on ain't scripted
Couldn't've prompted or fixed it
In a mood like a spice just kicked in
At a kickback with a shallow ceiling
[Chorus]
So why don't you stay awhile?
We at the best part of wasting time
You're in denial
I'm not talking 'bout a river
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, babe, where'd the time go?
Yeah, you're singing me your favorite karaoke song
No better time than the present mind, yeah
Ooh, baby, if I sang along with you
[Bridge]
No matter the ways you choose to be
No matter if you lose touch with me
This life we're living is comedy
[Outro]
So why don't you stay awhile?
