I don't wanna go home Don't bring the lights up, don't ring the bell Once the whistle has blown God only knows when we'll meet here again Tell the band not to stop Tell the curtain, don't drop Keep the barstool king high on his throne I don't wanna go home Don't wanna leave till it's all said and done Guess I should have known I'd want to stay until we'd seen the sun It's just the moment to make this perfect mistake Until we spend hours alone I don't wanna go home It's a matter of fact You can never look back It's a lesson that some never learn But I won't forget it I won't be caught treading On the bridges that I myself burned It's a matter of fact You can never look back It's a lesson that some never learn But I won't forget it I won't be caught treading On the bridges that I myself burned I don't wanna go home! I've been gone forever, I don't wanna face All the punches I've thrown And all the wounded who fueled my escape Tell the band not to stop Tell the curtain, don't drop Keep the barstool king high on his throne 'Cause somewhere in the dark There's a well-broken heart Who's willing to cast the first stone I don't wanna go home I don't wanna go home No, I don't wanna go home I don't wanna go home! No, I don't wanna go home Nah, I don't wanna go home I don't want to go home So don't bring the lights up, don't ring the bell 'Cause I don't want to go home God only knows when we'll meet here again I don't wanna go home No, I don't want to go home I don't wanna go home I don't wanna go home I don't wanna go home...
