I don't have to leave anymore

What I have is right here

Spend my nights and days before

Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored

Islands and cities I have looked

Here, I saw

Something I couldn't over look

I am yours now

So now I don't ever have to leave

I've been found out

So now I'll never explore

See what I've done

That bridge is on fire

Back to where I've been

I'm froze by desire

No need to leave

Where would I be

If this were to go under

That's a risk I'd take

I'm froze by desire

As if a choice I'd make

I am yours now

So now I don't ever have to leave

I've been found out

So now I'll never explore

So now I'll never explore
