Uptight
People tell me I should unwind
That I'm wasting all your precious time
I'm just gonna stay right here

And one day
You'll remember all the promises we've made
And you'll miss the foolish games we played
So I'm just gonna stay right here

Time stops
Every morning when I wake up
I get the feeling that I'm all you stop
I don't have a place I can turn

So tell me
All the things that I should be
And maybe this time I'll be listening
I'm just gonna stay right here
Yes, I'm just gonna stay right here
Oh, yeah

I need you
To give me some kind of excuse
To wear a smile like I should
I live my life without regret, knock on wood
We live our lives between these walls
So tell me how can it crumble
How can it fall
I said I was sorry
For playing the fool
So don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now

Uptight
People tell me I should unwind
That I'm just wasting all your precious time
I'm just gonna stay right here
I'm just gonna stay right here
Yes, I'm just gonna stay right here
