Linger lyrics

I've been tryna lose you baby

I'm getting kinda used to failing every try

I guess we both refuse to face it

Neither one of us will ever change our stripes

Why are we dancing now that the party's over?

Why are we running now that the race is done?

Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it

If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger

Linger

On and on, on and on, on and on

(Linger)

On and on, on and on, on and on

So I keep the fire burning

But I'm wondering why I still can feel the cold

And I squeeze and I squeeze as hard as I can

Hoping I will get some blood out of this stone

Why are we dancing now that the party's over?

Why are we running now that the race is done?

Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it

If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger

Linger

On and on, on and on, on and on

(Linger)

On and on, on and on, on and on

[Lupe Fiasco:]

We'll make it last 'till the last one

Each release is just a lease that repeats the past one

Song that never ends, that was Lamb Chop

Exodus, but the sex in us is a welcome mat back to Jamrock

So even when the band stops

Guitar still playin' even though the hand's not

And all of this amounts to poltergeists and haunted houses so

Even when we die, we'll still be alive

Why are we dancing now that the party's over?

Why are we running now that the race is done?

Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it

If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger

Linger

On and on, on and on, on and on

(Linger)

On and on, on and on, on and on
