This is not the first time you tried to get away,
This is not a party where people know your name,
This is not a classroom with teacher at the board,
This is not a game show with prizes at the door.
Go, don't you go,
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night,
If we get through one more night,
This is not a horse race where winners beat the time,
This is not a funeral with mourners in a line,
This is not a sitcom where everything's alright,
This is not a prison with terror through the night.
Go... don't you go,
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night,
If we get through one more night,
This is not the first time you tried to get away,
This is not a party where people know your name,
This is not a classroom with teacher at the board,
This is not a game show with prizes at the door.
Go... don't you go,
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night,
If we get through one more night,
[repeat chorus]
This is not the first time you tried to get away,
This is not a party where people know your name,
Oh... where people know your name,
This is not a party where people know your name,
This is not a classroom with teacher at the board,
This is not a game show with prizes at the door.
Go, don't you go,
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night,
If we get through one more night,
This is not a horse race where winners beat the time,
This is not a funeral with mourners in a line,
This is not a sitcom where everything's alright,
This is not a prison with terror through the night.
Go... don't you go,
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night,
If we get through one more night,
This is not the first time you tried to get away,
This is not a party where people know your name,
This is not a classroom with teacher at the board,
This is not a game show with prizes at the door.
Go... don't you go,
Won't you stay with me one more day?
If we get through one more night,
If we get through one more night,
[repeat chorus]
This is not the first time you tried to get away,
This is not a party where people know your name,
Oh... where people know your name,

"This is not a party--Where people know your name
This is not a classroom--With teacher at the board
This is not a catshow--With prizes at the door
This is not a horse race--Where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral--With mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom--Where everything's alright
This is not a prison--With terror through the night. "
Describing life, possibly? And the "Go.." part may be a person asking someone to stay with them and just give life another try tomorrow, instead of maybe suicide. If you've seen the video, if I recall right, the band is playing and ghosts are floating around them. It's most definitely about suicide, if not just about death.
Yeah, I can see this as being directed at somebody who is suicidal.
