lyrics

You’re leaving again without saying good-bye
Time on my hands getting old
Wasting my days by coming so close
But leaving with nothing to hold
Wounded and weary I keep to myself
Watching my life pass me by
Wondering out loud, can I climb my way out?
Well, I’m sure as hell gonna try

CHORUS
You say it’s always been that way
That’s not good enough anymore
Why spend my days in a circular haze
When that’s not the best I can show?

Day after day, year after year
You and I look for what’s left
Something inside me keeps calling me back
Something will not let me rest
If I had my say we’d be so far away
From the places you’re taking us now
I’ve been here before, and, oh, I want more
But there’s something I must get around

CHORUS

Sun slips behind that old hillside at last
This time it’s me who’s away
Breathing the air that comes only with time
Wondering what more I’ve to say
I hear you calling me back to your life
Sometimes I’m tempted to go
But now each day is new, and you can come too
But I can’t leave what I don’t know

CHORUS
