Kill Devil Falls

Just got back from kill devil falls
Draped my water logged clothes in the hall
Reach for a beer, glad that I'm here
When I realize that you're not around
Turned on some music and then the TV
Go through the pile of mail waiting for me
Something I spy makes me pull it aside
A letter from your hometown
How could you leave me? You heard what I said
I'll be at the waterfall clearing my head
Soaking up nature and thinking of you
But leaving's the last thing I thought you would do
I didn't plan to stop at the bar but kill devil falls is really so far
Who knew a day would turn into a week
But I learned my lesson and can still remember the last one
But this time will be different until I do it again
Stared at the ceiling for over a day
But none of my questions are answered this way
Won't make any calls, I'll just bounce off the walls
Till I go back to kill devil falls
How could you leave me? You heard what I said
I'll be at the waterfall clearing my head
Soaking up nature and thinking of you
But leaving's the last thing I thought you would do
I didn't plan to stop at the bar but kill devil falls is really so far
Who knew a day would turn into a week
But I learned my lesson and yes, I still remember the last one
This time will be different, this time will be different
And I stand at the base of the mountain, don't follow me
And I step right up to the cliff side, gotta learn how to leap
And I stare straight into the future, tell me what do you see?
This time's gonna be different
Oh, oh, oh
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Oh, oh, whoa
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Oh, oh, whoa
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Oh, oh
I learned my lesson and I can still remember the last one
But this time will be different
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Don't go back to kill devil falls
Don't go back to kill devil falls
