That Leaving Feeling |
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 |
