Please Don't Go
Posner Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's run away, from these lies
Back to yesterday
Safe tonight
I feel the sun creepin' up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head, but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow
With our lips locked
Yeah, you've got me begging, begging

Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?
I don't know, if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gon' to find you

Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby please don't

Baby, please don't run away from my bed
Start another day stay instead

I feel the sun creepin' up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head, but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow
With our lips locked
Yeah, you've got me begging, begging

Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?
I don't know, if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gon' to find you

Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby please don't

I stay running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
Said, I stay running from tomorrow

Baby, please don't go (please don't go)
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?
I don't know, if you feel the way I do (oh woah, woah-woah)
If you leave I'm gon' to find you (I'm gon, I'm gon' I'm gonna find you)

Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go (don't leave me, leave me)




Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby please don't, baby please don't runaway
