Lyrics
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
off of Soju and brown rum
'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?
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
off of Soju and brown rum
'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?
