Close your eyes and count to ten
Take a minute, breathe it in
Watch it mixing with the wind outside your window
Like salt into the ocean
Back to wear I belong
Pedal down, a brand new song
Take one off to try one on 'cause there's no secret
To this life
I love you but I'm leavin'
I hope you figure out one day
What it is you're needin'
But if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay
Every little chord and tone
Ring 'em out stick by stone
I know it used to be my home. It's far behind me
And I'm not lookin' back
No, not even a second glance
Water over dirty hands
And though it doesn't make much sense right now
I'll let it just work out in the end
I love you but I'm leavin'
I hope you figure out one day
What it is you're needin'
But if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay
And though I don't owe an explanation
You're kind of like sittin' too close to a fire
I know a few feet would make it better
But this chair's so heavy, it's late, I'm gettin' tired
But long gone are the days where I stand by and wait
For you to just burn out or burn me up
So this is goodbye
I love you but I'm leavin'
I hope you figure out one day
What it is you're needin'
But if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay
