| I get that leaving feeling
|
| This time it’s here to stay
|
| I’ve been weighing up the pulling
|
| And pushing me away
|
| The past is so heavy
|
| But it’s something that I can’t leave
|
| And this future’s so certain
|
| It just pushes me to my knees
|
| Is that your heart talking
|
| Or just that we fight over mine
|
| The people that you love
|
| They change when you leave them behind
|
| But this rope that is pulling
|
| Is whittled down to a thread
|
| And if I don’t start climbing
|
| Pretty soon it’ll be over my head
|
| We all have dreams of leaving
|
| We all wanna make a new start
|
| Go and pack a little suitcase
|
| With the pieces of our hearts
|
| All those worries and those sorrows
|
| We can just dust them away
|
| Buy a coffee and a paper
|
| And go step on to a train
|
| (Bridge)
|
| But I’ve been too long wandering
|
| Limping around this town
|
| With everything that’s pulling me
|
| It’s pulling me further down
|
| Go make all your excuses
|
| Go say all your goodbyes
|
| But take a look in the mirror
|
| It’s the hardest one you’ll ever find
|
| All those worries and those sorrows
|
| You can just dust them away
|
| Go and find a new tomorrow
|
| And forget about your yesterdays
|
| So you and pat your kids
|
| And kiss your dog goodbye
|
| Leave the keys on the nail
|
| With the sadness that’s in your eyes
|
| Maybe tomorrow
|
| Today looks like it’s bringing rain
|
| And I’ll leave everything in order
|
| I don’t want nothing standing in my way
|
| There are jobs needing tending
|
| And logs that are waiting to stack
|
| And I’ll leave everything in order
|
| I don’t want nothing that’s gonna hold me back |
