Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus

Going to a place thats far, so far away and if thats not enough

I know it might sound strange, but I believe

Youll be coming back before too long



Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

And waste another year



At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend

I dont care if youre not here with me

Cause its so much easier to handle

All my problems if Im too far out to sea

But something better happen soon



Or its gonna be too late to bring you back



Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

And waste another year



Its not as though I really need you

If you were here Id only bleed you

But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and

Thats not how it ought to be

I know it might sound strange, but I believe

Youll be coming back before too long



Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

And waste another year



Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

Dont go back to Rockville

And waste another year
