Mike Posner – Please Don't Go Lyrics

R&B

Let's run away from these lies
Back to yesterday, safe tonight

I feel the sun creeping 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 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 gonna 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 and start another day
Stay instead

I feel the sun creeping 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 got me begging, begging baby

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 gonna 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

I stay running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
Well, 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
If you leave I'm gonna 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 run away

Musically, it features Posner's smooth, emotionally charged vocals over a mellow R&B production that emphasizes the song's intimate, late-night atmosphere.

    I LOVE this song!! my absolute Fave!!I listened to it quite a bit and im pretty sure its about a dream he has about, maybe, an ex or someone he loves and wants to go... he's beggin she wont go, that when he wakes up (from his dream) She'll be there with him. He stays running from tomorrow because he doesn't want to wake from his dream and find her not beside him.
