Like a ghost don't need a key,
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak

When I've been here for just one day
You already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore

Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home

If you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker like a child
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I'll need

Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home

If you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you?

If you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home

'cause I will be your safety,
I will be your safety,
I will be your safety,

Ohh Don't leave home.

Wow. I think that's the most sophomoric statement I've ever seen on RP.


Wow, "sophomoric", I had to look that word up.
I like it, that word, and you threw it onto the right statement 👍.

Sweet face, sweet voice

Love Dido. This is a really touching song.

When I was using, this is how it felt.....

Ick, lyrics aside, this has a seriously nasty Pop music sound. PSD

I just plan like Dido. And there's a place in Newfoundland named after her! Sort of.

Hooray for Dido! I wish stuff from her other albums would make an appearance here once in a while. I look forward to getting a copy of her new album she released this year, too!

If you take this song as being about drug addiction, then the line is not strange at all.

If she keeps him/her weak like a child, he/she won't leave home, venture out beyond the safety of her.  Yes, selfish.  But sometimes, we are the weak ones and so want to make the other weak so they won't leave us alone.  Just a little dream she is having...

She gave up the music career, changed her name to Dildo and now she makes a living from the 'click' royalties on Google searches.

I absolutely adore her. She's like a 2000's Edie Brickell

Actually like the chorus. One of the few times you hear Dido vibrato...and its wonderful. "Just hold on...." It's awesome to hear the frail voice command some power. A rarity. She's sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. Her simplicity is very appealing.

I had dismissed Dido as a lightweight, but the entire Life for Rent album is quite strong.

This is a great album. In fact both of her albums are very good.

Opening with a 7, with a chance to go up.

You have to play Sand in my Shoes from that album. The percussion is great. It is one of my favorite Dido tunes

Happiest song ever about drug addiction.

Pretty cool live version on her DVD too.
 
Does this mean my girlfriend is a drug and I'm an addict?

BILL!

'bout time.

This is my 10 year daughters favorite album and this song isn't even the best one on it. 

Explore a little.
