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...
