To many, Sloan is one of today's quintessential Canadian bands, as cliche as it might sound. Since their debut EP Peppermintin 1992, the fab four - Halifax natives, now relocated to Toronto - have forged a distinct niche for themselves in the Canadian scene. The outfit includes Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitar, Chris Murphy on bass, and Andrew Scott on drums; each have their own unique songwriting voice and style, each contribute equally. Sloan's humble beginnings with the aforementioned EP led them to a signing with David Geffen, where they released Smearedthat same year. Following that album and hailed as "Canada's Nirvana," they took a sharp turn with Twice Removed(1994) and never looked back.

Nothing Left To Make Me Want To Stay Lyrics

Sloan

There are those who live their life
As if there is no other
So they burn their bridges but they couldn't
Care any less

Comes a time that catches up
They pay no matter, pack their bags
And take off to another place to start
From scratch
They never get attached

Growing up was wall-to-wall excitement
But I don't recall another who could
Understand at all
And I didn't try to find what I just had to fall
Fall out

It's alright, I've had it up to here with everyone
And so I'll say
That there's nothing left to make me want to stay

There are those who live their life
Afraid of consequences
So they learn to sit on fences
And they can't step on toes
My heart goes out to those
They're right under my nose

Growing up was pretty dull
I often times exaggerate
The ones I hate that I
Could never save And I realize of course that there will come a day
That I will say

That there's nothing left to make me want to stay
But I can never go away
That there's nothing left to make me want to stay
And I will never go away
And there's nothing left to make me want to stay
